Abstract
The distribution of the species of Nepalomyia Hollis, 1964 over the principal zoogeographical regions is briefly summarized. A new species, Nepalomyia chalajaesp. n. from the North Caucasus, is described. The replacement name Nepalomyia igorinom. n. is proposed for the homonym Nepalomyia yangi Grootaert, 2013, nec Wang, Yang and Grootaert, 2007. A key to males of the ten Palaearctic species of Nepalomyia is given.
