Thirty-nine species of Tephritidae and four species of Ulidiidae are recorded for the first time from Chernivetska Region of Ukraine, which remained a “white spot” on the map of distribution of many Diptera groups. This diversity was found on two botanical preserves with rich flora represented by both meadow and steppe vegetation. A numerous population of endangered species <em>Urophora dzieduszyckii</em> Frauenfeld 1867 is found.
