“…All the leaf-mining flies collected on Ilha de Maracá represent new records to the state of Roraima. The Agromyzidae diversity from the Brazilian Amazon Forest is poorly known, although new records and new species have been recently published from Rondônia, with 12 species (Sousa & Couri, 2017a, 2017b, and Pará, with 36 species (Monteiro et al, 2015;Carvalho-Filho et al, 2016;Monteiro & Esposito, 2017;Monteiro et al, 2019). These numbers reveal that the lack of knowledge about agromyzids from the Brazilian Amazon is due to insufficient studies in this region.…”

Roraima is a Brazilian state located in the northern portion of the Amazon basin, with few studies regarding its biodiversity. The Ecological Station of Maracá (Brazil, state of Roraima) harbors the third largest Brazilian pluvial island and is composed of a transitional landscape of savanna and Amazon rainforest components. Despite its ecological importance and strategic localization, few studies covered the dipterofauna of this locality. An updated checklist addressing 41 families of true flies (Diptera) occurring in Roraima is presented based on the literature and the specimens collected during a field expedition that occurred in 2015. This checklist brings several improvements such as new records of 165 taxa to the state of Roraima, 29 taxa to Brazil, and 259 morphotypes, mostly likely representing undescribed species.
