ABSTRACT Eighteen species of Clinocerinae are recorded from the Caucasus, including three new species described herein [Kowarzia caucasica sp. nov. (Russia: Republic of Adygea), Trichoclinocera grichanovi sp. nov. (Russia: Kabardino- Balkaria), kustovi sp. nov. (Russia: Republic of Adygea)]. The genus Trichoclinocera Collin is recorded from this region for the first time. A key to Clinocerinae of the Caucasus is presented. Key words: Caucasus, Clinocerinae, Diptera, Empididae, new species, Palaearctic, Russia
