Abstract

Maurice Dauzet collected hoverflies mainly in Loire and Haute-Loire from 1980 to 2017. Here, we provide the data from his hoverfly collection and card records, in order to support efforts towards a better understanding of the changing distribution of pollinators.<br> The hoverflies from the Dauzet collection includes 1302 specimens and 423 additional records written on cards, totalling 1725 data of 221 species. Data from these specimens and records are presented here, with date of capture and location details. The collection contains specimens of species endangered at the European level: Cheilosia gagatea, Epistrophe leiophthalma, Paragus albifrons and Paragus finitimus. The Dauzet collection adds 81 species data to the known departmental distribution of the hoverflies of France. This revision invalidates data on eight species in the Loire Department previously published by Maurice Dauzet.
