The genus Ischiodon Sack, 1913 (Diptera: Syrphidae) are small to medium-sized wasp mimic hoverflies with only four species worldwide: Ischiodon aegyptius (Wiedemann, 1830), I. astales Mengual, 2018, I. feae (Bezzi, 1912), and I. scutellaris (Fabricius, 1805). In Europe, I. aegyptius and I. scutellaris occur, but only in the southern part of the continent. In this article, we present the northernmost record of I. aegyptius, which is also the first finding of this species in the Balkan Peninsula.
