Bicellaria croatica sp. nov. (Hybotidae) is described and illustrated from Croatia. In Empididae, new records for Rhamphomyia brevis Daugeron & Lefebvre, 2015 (preoccupied, Rhamphomyia brevis Loew, 1861) are presented and a new substitute name for this species is proposed: Rhamphomyia daugeroni nom. nov. The species is transferred to the subgenus Holoclera. Three species of Empididae are first recorded from Croatia: Empis pleurica (Collin, 1960), Rhamphomyia (Amydroneura) pseudogibba Strobl, 1910 and Empis (Xanthempis) hypandrialis Daugeron, 2000 (the female is described for the first time). It is hypothesised that Empis pleurica (Collin, 1960) is extending its distribution area northwest (from Israel through Turkey to Croatia), northwards (to the Caucasus) and eastward (to Iran), probably due to climate change.
