Abstract

As a result of taxonomic investigations, 157 species of Asilidae are recognized as occurring in Utah. Keys for subfamiles, genera, and species are given, along with information on seasonal and distributional occurrence in Utah. Seventy-six maps and fifty-seven figures are included, which show the Utah distribution of each species and illustrate important characters used in the keys. Trends in distributional patterns are discussed.
