The samples were collected with an aspirator and entomological net on 10 different locations through the whole flow of the river Cetina and on the springs of two tributaries, river Ruda and river Grab. The purpose of the research was to determine the diversity of the aquatic dance flies (Diptera, Empididae: Clinocerinae, Hemerodromiinae) and to determine which of the researched locations has the biggest diversity of aquatic dance flies. In two subfamilies 20 species of aquatic dance flies were recorded from 5 different genera, 3 of which belong to the subfamily Clinocerinae (Clinocera, Wiedemannia, Dolichocephala) and 2 to the subfamily Hemerodromiinae (Hemerodromia, Chelifera). Location with the biggest diversity is location Radmanove mlinice, near the mouth of the river Cetina, 10 species were recorded, 9 species from 3 genera of the subfamily Clinocerinae (Clinocera, Wiedemannia, Dolichocephala) and 1 species from the genus Hemerodromia of the subfamily Hemerodromiinae.
