Tachinid flies were reared from several species of Lepidoptera larvae during the year 2018. Eight species were recorded from two subfamilies, Exoristinae and Tachininae. The species Ceromya bicolor is a new for the Serbian fauna. Also, for the same territory, the genus Ceromya is recorded for the first time.
