Genus<em>&nbsp; Merodon&nbsp; </em>Meigen,&nbsp; 1803&nbsp; belongs&nbsp; to family&nbsp; Syrphidae,&nbsp; subfamily&nbsp; Eristalinae, tribus&nbsp; Merodontini.&nbsp; Hoverflies&nbsp; play&nbsp; crucial&nbsp; ecological&nbsp; roles&nbsp; (pollination,&nbsp; decomposition&nbsp; and&nbsp; recycling&nbsp; of&nbsp; a&nbsp; vast&nbsp; range&nbsp; of&nbsp; materials, bioindicators&nbsp; etc).&nbsp; Despite&nbsp; the&nbsp; fact&nbsp; that genus<em>&nbsp; Merodon</em>&nbsp; is&nbsp; the&nbsp; species&nbsp; richest hoverfly&nbsp; genus&nbsp; in&nbsp; Europe&nbsp; (124&nbsp; described&nbsp; species so far), only few authors have dealt with&nbsp; its&nbsp; systematics&nbsp; and&nbsp; phylogenetic&nbsp; relationships&nbsp; of&nbsp; this&nbsp; large&nbsp; phytophagous genus. In order to understand the systematics and&nbsp; phylogeny&nbsp; of&nbsp; genus&nbsp; Merodon,&nbsp; it&nbsp; is&nbsp; necessary to analyze comprehensive number of&nbsp; gene&nbsp; regions&nbsp; known&nbsp; to&nbsp; evolve&nbsp; with various&nbsp; mutational&nbsp; rates,&nbsp; and&nbsp; as&nbsp; many&nbsp; feasible,&nbsp; phylogenetically&nbsp; important&nbsp; morphological&nbsp; characters.&nbsp; In&nbsp; this&nbsp; thesis, molecular (mtDNA, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA)and&nbsp; 250&nbsp; morphological&nbsp; characters&nbsp; (with&nbsp; the aid&nbsp; of&nbsp; binocular&nbsp; and&nbsp; scanning&nbsp; electron microscope)&nbsp; were&nbsp; analyzed,&nbsp; separately&nbsp; and combined,&nbsp; with&nbsp; phylogenetic&nbsp; methods <em>maximum&nbsp; parsimony&nbsp; </em>(MP)&nbsp; and&nbsp; <em>maximum likelihood</em>&nbsp; (ML).&nbsp; In&nbsp; total&nbsp; 329&nbsp; specimens were&nbsp; analyzed.&nbsp; It&nbsp; has&nbsp; been&nbsp; proven&nbsp; that&nbsp; in these types of research integrative approach is crucial, as it considers a large&nbsp; amount of data from various sources. In ML analysis of all&nbsp; genes&nbsp; tribus&nbsp; Merodontini&nbsp; is monophyletic,&nbsp; with&nbsp; Nausigaster meridionalis&nbsp; grouping&nbsp; as&nbsp; a&nbsp; sister&nbsp; to&nbsp; the remaining&nbsp; Merodontini&nbsp; (<em>Azpeytia, Platynochaetus,&nbsp; Megatrigon,&nbsp; Eumerus&nbsp; </em>and <em>Eumerus&nbsp; tricolor&nbsp;</em> lineage). Genus&nbsp;<em> Eumerus </em>is&nbsp; paraphyletic,&nbsp; and&nbsp; within&nbsp; this&nbsp; genus&nbsp; two main&nbsp; monophyletic&nbsp; lineages&nbsp; can&nbsp; be identified:&nbsp;<em> Eumerus&nbsp; tricolor&nbsp; </em>clade&nbsp; (putative genera)&nbsp; and&nbsp; the&nbsp; remaining&nbsp; taxa&nbsp; of&nbsp; genus Eumerus.&nbsp; Genus&nbsp; <em>Merodon</em>&nbsp; monophyly&nbsp; is confirmed,&nbsp; based&nbsp; on&nbsp; all&nbsp; data&nbsp; analysis&nbsp; 5&#39; mtDNA&nbsp; COI&nbsp; and&nbsp; morphological&nbsp; dataset. Within&nbsp; genus&nbsp; <em>Merodon</em>&nbsp; five&nbsp; monophyletic clades&nbsp; can&nbsp; be&nbsp; identified&nbsp; (<em>aureus,&nbsp; albifrons, desuturinus,&nbsp; natans&nbsp; and&nbsp; avidus</em>),&nbsp; or&nbsp; four evolutionary&nbsp; lineages,&nbsp; putative&nbsp; subgenera: aureus,&nbsp; albifrons&nbsp; +&nbsp; desuturinus,&nbsp; natans&nbsp; and avidus.&nbsp; Mitochondrial DNA is proved to be very&nbsp; informative&nbsp; in&nbsp; resolving&nbsp; systematic position&nbsp; of&nbsp; clades,&nbsp; species&nbsp; groups&nbsp; and&nbsp; taxa, which confirms the higher variability of COI mtDNA&nbsp; sequences&nbsp; compared&nbsp; to&nbsp; nuclear genes. Nuclear genes alone didn&#39;t resolve the systematic&nbsp; position&nbsp; and&nbsp; phylogenetic relationships&nbsp; between&nbsp; most&nbsp; clades&nbsp; (28S rRNA&nbsp; identified&nbsp; only&nbsp; natans&nbsp; clade)&nbsp; within genus&nbsp; <em>Merodon,</em>&nbsp; but&nbsp; these&nbsp; genes&nbsp; confirmed the&nbsp; monophyly&nbsp; of&nbsp; tribus&nbsp; Merodontini&nbsp; and putative&nbsp; genera&nbsp; <em>Eumerus&nbsp; tricolo</em>r.&nbsp; Nuclear genes&nbsp; were&nbsp; also&nbsp; informative&nbsp; for&nbsp; some species&nbsp; groups,&nbsp; which&nbsp; implies&nbsp; that&nbsp; nuclear genes&nbsp; could&nbsp; be&nbsp; beneficial&nbsp; in&nbsp;&nbsp; resolving systematic position of both lower and higher taxonomic ranks. Low&nbsp; variability of nuclear genes within genus <em>Merodon</em>, especially 18SrRNA,&nbsp; proves&nbsp; the&nbsp; fact&nbsp; that&nbsp; they&nbsp; are&nbsp; conservative&nbsp; genes.&nbsp; Morphological&nbsp; characters&nbsp; of&nbsp; male&nbsp; genitalia&nbsp; carry&nbsp; the strongest&nbsp; phylogenetic&nbsp; signal,&nbsp; since&nbsp; they show a great evolutionary divergence in the shape&nbsp; and&nbsp; structural&nbsp; complexity,&nbsp; as&nbsp; a&nbsp; result of&nbsp; sexual&nbsp; selection.&nbsp; As&nbsp; molecular&nbsp; nor morphological&nbsp; characters&nbsp; alone&nbsp; couldn&#39;t fully&nbsp; resolve&nbsp; the&nbsp; phylogenetic&nbsp; relationships&nbsp; within genus&nbsp; <em>Merodon</em>,&nbsp; all data&nbsp; approach is proven&nbsp; to&nbsp; be&nbsp; necessary&nbsp; in&nbsp; this&nbsp; type&nbsp; of&nbsp; research.<br />&nbsp;</p>
