The family Hybotidae is systematically studied from Turkey for the first time. Altogether 51 species are reported from Turkey, of which 36 species are first recorded from this country and seven species are described as new for science: Platypalpus academicus sp. nov., P. anomalus sp. nov., P. bohousi sp. nov., P. diminuticornis sp. nov., P. dursuni sp. nov., P. moceki sp. nov., and P. seticauda sp. nov. Seven additional probably undescribed species remain unnamed due to insufficient material. Tachypeza subnubila Raffone, 2002 is proposed as new subjective junior synonym of Tachypeza nubila (Meigen, 1804).
