Abstract

The current study was conducted during the year 2020 in some areas of the holy Kerbala governorate with the aim of diagnosing some species of insects of environmental and biological importance and knowing their distribution and the time of occurrence during seasons. The results showed that the species Limnophora obsignata (Rondani, 1866) (Muscidae: Coenosiinae) was recorded for the first time in Iraq. It was found that throughout the study period, this species was more frequently found in river habitats and seasons with moderate temperatures and humidity (spring and autumn). The external appearance of this species was described, as well as the anatomy of the male reproductive system of the samples.
