Survey of the Syrphidae (Diptera) of two vineyard plots in the canton of Geneva (Switzerland) added 17 species to the cantonal list. The survey was carried out with five Malaise traps deployed from mid-March to the end of July 2014. Most of these species are rarely recorded in Switzerland and their association with the vineyards and/or the surrounding forest habitats is discussed. Results highlighted the biological value of the forest habitats surrounding one of the vineyard plots (Soral) as a habitat for some interesting species. Records are provided of two additional species collected elsewhere in the canton.
