Athyroglossa (Athyroglossa) fennica spec. nov. (Finland) and Athyroglossa (Athyroglossa) kuraensis spec. nov. (Georgia) are described. A key to European species of Athyroglossa is presented. The male terminalia and sternites 3\–5 of all European species are illustrated.

The 11 Finnish species of phantom midges (Chaoboridae) are revised. The study included nationwide field sampling, targeted investigations, DNA barcoding, examination of museum specimens and an extensive literature survey. The regional fauna now consists of all European taxa, with Mochlonyx triangularis Klink reported here for the first time from Fennoscandia. An illustrated key is provided to fourth instar larvae, pupae and adult males of all species. Chaoborus flavicans (Meigen) is noted as the only truly lake-dwelling species, whilst Ch. albipes (Johannsen) may also occasionally be present in ponds that contain fish populations, all other species are deemed inhabitants of fishless ponds. Among the pond-dwelling species, Ch. obscuripes (Van der Wulp) is dominant, both in terms of numbers of ponds and abundance. The number of chaoborid species in a given pond varies from one to six, with 1\–2 taxa found universally. The number of Chaoborus species is most often from one to two and the presence of \≥3 Chaoborus species in a pond is quite rare. Reasons for the observed patterns are likely caused by niche differences, biotic interactions, depth and pond permanence. A total of 251 journal articles, reports or academic theses were found to include records on Finnish Chaoboridae. Chaoborus flavicans was the most often cited taxon (74 \% of the studies), whilst the pond-dwelling species (20 \%) were cited far more rarely.

Background

Limoniidae is one of the most species-rich Dipteran families, with 661 reported species in Europe. Despite the fact that the European limoniid crane fly fauna has been studied ever since Carolus Linnaeus, it is still poorly known.


New information

In this study, we summarise the taxonomic and faunistic studies of European Limoniidae, which described new species and reported first country records, between 2010 and 2020. We also report occurrence data of 244 Limoniidae species which represent the first country records or conformational records from various European countries, as we report ten species from Albania, one from Austria, thirty-seven from Belarus, five from Belgium, two from Bulgaria, two from Estonia, six from Finland, seven from France, fourteen from Greece, sixteen from Hungary, two from Iceland, six from Italy, ten from Latvia, one from Malta, nine from Montenegro, two from The Netherlands, ten from North Macedonia, forty- two from Norway, one from Poland, five from Portugal, twenty from Romania, thirty-eight from Serbia, six from Slovenia, five from Spain and seven species from Sweden for the first time. From the European territory of Russia, we report twenty-eight species from Central European Russia, seventy-two from East European Russia, fifteen from North European Russia, one from Northwest European Russia and seven from North Caucasus for the first time. Confirmatory records and corrigenda are also included.
