Abstract: The paper presents host records for 17 species of Tachinidae (of subfamilies Exoristinae and Tachininae) from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Croatia, Macedonia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Bulgaria. New parasitoid-host couples are Exorista larvarum - Melanchra pisi; Exorista segregata - Catocala nymphaea; Sturmia bella - Hadena compta; Spallanzania multisetosa - Cycnia sordida (first host record); Tachina praeceps - Cucullia bubaceki; and Bithia modesta - Bembecia megillaeformis. New country records of tachinid species Rhacodinella apicata from the Czech Republic, Masicera pavoniae from Macedonia and Bithia demotica from Portugal are presented.
