The genus Meigen, 1803 is distributed across the Palaearctic and Afrotropical Regions. The present work summarizes the knowledge from recent taxonomic and systematic revisions and includes an identification key for the five monophyletic lineages (namely , , , and ), 24 species groups, two species subgroups and 10 unplaced species, along with diagnosis and illustrations. A list of 234 taxa, including 194 described and 40 undescribed species, is appended.

- The study investigates the genetic diversity of the black soldier fly species (Hermetia illucens) across 39 countries, revealing significant genetic variations, particularly in the mitochondrial COI gene, despite the nuclear markers showing consistency.
- In total, 56 distinct COI haplotypes were identified, indicating high variability in both natural and cultured populations, likely due to independent breeding practices.
- The research challenges assumptions about the species' uniformity, as some biogeographic regions display unique haplotypes, suggesting the complexity of its distribution and evolution.
An ongoing study of the genus Merodon Meigen, 1803 in the Republic of South Africa (RSA) has revealed the existence of new species related to M. melanocerus Bezzi, 1915. The M.

In this study, we present an identification key to species complexes and species within the M.
