Three genera (Betasyringophiloidus Skoracki, 2011; Neoaulonastus Skoracki, 2004; Torotrogla Kethley, 1970) and 11 species (Betasyringophiloidus saxicolus Skoracki, 2011; B. phoenicurus Skoracki, 2011; Neoaulonastus bisetatus (Fritsch, 1958); Syringophilopsis acrocephali Skoracki, 1999; S. blaszaki Skoracki & Dabert, 1999; S. fringillae (Fritsch, 1958); S. hirundus Skoracki, 2004; S. kazmierski Skoracki, 2004; S. rusticus Skoracki, 2004; Torotrogla rubeculi Skoracki, 2004; T. merulae Skoracki, Dabert & Ehrnsberger, 2000) are recorded for the first time in Ukraine.
