Abstract
A total of 127 host species of family Tachinidae from Bulgaria are included. They are divided into four orders and 27 families. The main part of them, 102 species, belongs to the order Lepidoptera. Another 25 species are divided between the orders Heteroptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. A total of 118 tachinid species related to these hosts were scrutinised. The species of Tachinidae with their hosts are presented in the first part of the work. In the second part, the hosts and the tachinids parasitising on them are scrutinised. A total of 135 publications with data on the family hosts from Bulgaria were analysed.

Key words
Tachinidae, hosts, parasitoids, Bulgaria
