BackgroundMolophilus    Curtis, 1833 is the most species-rich   Limoniidae   genus with a total number of 1006 species and subspecies, from which 97 are recorded in the Western-Palaearctic region so far. However new species are still expected from less investigated regions, like the Balkans or the Eastern Europe.New informationIn the present article, we desrcibe a new limonid crane fly species,    Molophilus   balcanicus    Kolcsár  sp. n.  from the Central Balkan area (Bulgaria). This new taxa is closely related to    M.   serpentiger    Edwards, 1938 and    M.   variispinus    Starý​, 1971 based on the external male genital structures, but differs from its siblings mostly in the structure of the inner and outer gonostylus. Additionally, a number of species are reported for the first time from various European countries, like    M.   variispinus    Starý, 1971 and    M.   occultus    de Meijere, 1918 from Romania;    M.   crassipygus    de Meijere 1918,    M.   obsoletus    Lackschewitz, 1940 and    M.   medius    de Meijere, 1918 from Greece;    M.   flavus    Goetghebuer, 1920 from Andorra;    M.   cinereifrons    de Meijere, 1920 from Bulgaria and    M.   corniger    Meijere, 1920 from Spain.
