An ongoing taxonomic inventory of mycophagous gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) in Sweden has revealed several previously unnamed species of asynaptine Porricondylinae, which are described here on the basis of male adults mostly from Malaise trap catches. The new species are classified and named as follows: Asynapta inflatoides sp. nov., A. rickebasta sp. nov., A. taigensis sp. nov., Camptomyia capitata sp. nov., C. hedmarki sp. nov., C. oldhammeri sp. nov., C. rhynchostylata sp. nov., and Stackelbergiella sikorai sp. nov. Specimens studied here prove the presence of both Asynapta inflatoides and A. taigensis in Finland, and of Stackelbergiella sikorai in Estonia. Other species new to the Finnish fauna are Asynapta thuraui Rübsaamen and Camptomyia ulmicola Mamaev, whereas Asynapta inflata Spungis has to be deleted from the Finnish checklist. Males of two species recorded in Sweden for the first time, and three species whose Swedish distribution is reconfirmed here, are redescribed: Asynapta baltica Spungis; A. inflata; Camptomyia fulva Mamaev; C. piptopori Panelius; and C. ulmicola. New junior synonyms recognized here are Niladmirara Fedotova syn. nov. (of Camptomyia Kieffer) and Asynapta panzari Jaschhof & Jaschhof syn. nov. (of A. breviata Spungis). The genitalic morphology of male Asynaptini is reinterpreted to include two pairs of parameres in the ancestral ground pattern. The extraordinary diversity of male genitalic structures found in asynaptine genera is highlighted, along with considerations of how this source of information can be exploited for the benefit of classification. Small-area remnants of ancient, naturally grown forest are shown to support populations of previously unnamed species of Asynaptini.

The taxonomy of Catochini, Strobliellini and Acoenoniini, three species-poor tribes of the subfamily Micromyinae, is reviewed on the basis of new material from Europe and Japan. In the Catochini, the genus Anocha Pritchard stat. rev. is revived from synonymy with Catocha Haliday and shown to include eight species, five of which are new: Anocha glabra sp. nov. (Sweden), A. grytsjoenensis sp. nov. (Sweden), A. japonica sp. nov. (Japan), A. moraviensis sp. nov. (Czech Republic), and A. vernalis sp. nov. (Sweden). Anocha minuta (Jaschhof), originally described in the genus Catarete Edwards, and Catocha brachycornis (Spungis {&} Jaschhof), previously classified in the genus Strobliella Kieffer, tribe Strobliellini, are new combinations. In the Acoenoniini, new species described are Acoenonia baltica sp. nov. (Sweden, Latvia) and A. ulleviensis sp. nov. (Sweden). The female of Groveriella Mamaev (tribe Strobliellini) is described for the first time. Keys are provided to the species of Anocha and Acoenonia Pritchard.

The taxonomy of Dicerura Kieffer, 1898, a genus of Porricondylinae now comprising 32 species in the Holarctic region, is revised. Three new species are described based on morphological characters of male adults: D. jakovlevi Jaschhof & Spungis sp. nov. (from Finland), D. penttineni Jaschhof & Spungis sp. nov. (Finland), and D. yezoensis Jaschhof & Spungis sp. nov. (Japan). Dicerura padi Mamaev, 1975 syn. nov. is revealed to be a junior synonym of D. furculata Mamaev, 1968. Seven species, whose original descriptions are from a present-day perspective inadequate for the purpose of identification, are redescribed: D. barbata Mamaev, 1966; D. formosa Mamaev, 1998; D. foliicola Mamaev, 1968; D. furculata; D. iridis (Kaltenbach, 1873); D. stipator Mamaev, 1972; and D. unidentata Spungis, 1987. A key to males of Palearctic Dicerura is provided. New faunistic records are presented for D. barbata; D. complicata Spungis, 1987; D. dentata Spungis, 1979; D. formosa; D. fungicola (Mamaev, 1964); D. mixta Spungis, 1987; and D. unidentata. Male genitalic characters are shown to be useful to a certain extent for structuring the species diversity found within the genus Dicerura. The following groups of species are defined: iridis group (with nine species), dentata group (six species), fungicola group (four species), and formosa group (four species). Six of the species whose morphology is adequately known cannot be grouped within the proposed scheme, indicating the need for further character analysis and continuing search for yet undiscovered species that are assumed to exist in large numbers.

The taxonomy of Palaearctic Peromyia KIEFFER, 1894 is reviewed on the basis of specimens mostly from Sweden. Evidence from adult morphology and, if available, DNA barcode (COI) sequences are used for characterizing species. Of a total of 78 species, 38 are described as new: Peromyia acuminata spec. nov. (from Sweden, Germany, and Russia), P. angulosa spec. nov. (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany), P. angustior spec. nov. (Sweden), P. appositoides spec. nov. (Sweden), P. brandenburgensis spec. nov. (Germany), P. brutostylata spec. nov. (Sweden, Finland, Russia), P. clavata spec. nov. (Sweden, Germany), P. cognata spec. nov. (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia), P. consimilis spec. nov. (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany), P. constricta spec. nov. (Sweden, Finland, Germany), P. curvostylata spec. nov. (Sweden), P. despecta spec. nov. (Sweden, Finland, Russia, Germany), P. devia spec. nov. (Sweden, Germany), P. dupla spec. nov. (Sweden, Germany), P. gracilostylata spec. nov. (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany), P. grytsjoenensis spec. nov. (Sweden), P. hyalina spec. nov. (Sweden, Finland), P. inflata spec. nov. (Sweden, Finland, Germany, Japan), P. iuxtatruncata spec. nov. (Sweden, Finland, Russia, Germany), P. karstroemi spec. nov. (Sweden), P. lapponica spec. nov. (Sweden), P. lippertae spec. nov. (Sweden), P. lisatengoe spec. nov. (Sweden), P. longi- stylata spec. nov. (Norway, Sweden, Germany), P. manca spec. nov. (Norway, Sweden), P. monticorvina spec. nov. (Sweden), P. neglecta spec. nov. (Sweden, Finland, Germany), P. niederhofensis spec. nov. (Sweden, Germany), P. oelandica spec. nov. (Sweden), P. ombergensis spec. nov. (Sweden), P. pseudoborealis spec. nov. (Norway, Sweden, Japan), P. pumiloides spec. nov. (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany), P. quercinophila spec. nov. (Sweden), P. simulans spec. nov. (Sweden, Finland), P. stenshuvudensis spec. nov. (Sweden, Germany), P. trifidoides spec. nov. (Sweden), P. uleforsi spec. nov. (Sweden), and P. uniseriata spec. nov. (Sweden, Germany). The status as valid species is reinstated for P. brevispina YUKAWA, 1967 stat. restit. (released from synonymy with Joannisia fungicola KIEFFER, 1901), P. prominens YUKAWA, 1967 stat. restit. (released from synonymy with Campylomyza impexa SKUSE, 1888), P. subanatina MAMAEV {&} ZAITZEV, 1997 (released from synonymy with P. anatina MAMAEV {&} BEREST, 1990), and P. viklundi JASCHHOF, 1997 (released from synonymy with P. scutellata MAMAEV, 1990). The morphology of males is revised of P. anatina, P. angellifera JASCHHOF, 1997, P. apposita JASCHHOF, 1997, P. brevispina, P. caricis (KIEFFER, 1901), P. fungicola, P. prominens, P. ramosa (EDWARDS, 1938), P. neomexicana (FELT, 1913), P. scutellata, P. subanatina, P. subborealis JASCHHOF, 1997, P. truncata YUKAWA, 1967, and P. viklundi. COI sequences support the identity of 44 morphospecies and confirm that both P. impexa and P. photophila as presently defined are complexes of cryptic species. The threshold for separating species of Peromyia lies at 8 {%} genetic (K2P) distance. New faunistic records in Sweden are P. brevispina, P. maetoi JASCHHOF, 2001, P. neomexicana, P. revelata MAMAEV {&} BEREST, 1990, and P. viklundi. Peromyia pumila JASCHHOF, 2001 and P. truncata are deleted from the list of Swedish species. Recent advances in the study of Peromyia taxonomy and diversity are discussed in terms of methodology.

The micromyine gall midge Campylomyza serrata was described by the author in 1998 on the basis of three male specimens from a single locality in Northern Germany. Since then, a number of additional specimens from several European countries were assigned to this species and published as C. serrata. Now, almost 20 years later, all these specimens plus a few others from previously undetermined Campylomyza material in the author’s collection, altogether 56 males, were gathered for a morphological re-examination. As a result, Campylomyza serrata sensu Jaschhof (1998) is revealed to be a complex of five cryptic species, including Campylomyza angulata spec. nov., Campylomyza appendiculata spec. nov., Campylomyza lapponica spec. nov., and Campylomyza zwii spec. nov. In the present paper, Campylomyza serrata and the new species related to it are defined using characters of the male genitalia. A key is provided that facilitates the identification of males of these species and of Campylomyza spinata, the sixth known member of the serrata group. Finally, various issues related to the identification of serrata-like species (and other taxonomically difficult Micromyinae) are discussed.

Species of the Aprionus flavidus (WINNERTZ) group belong to the most commonly found Micromyinae (Cecidomyiidae) in the Holarctic realm. One of the group members, Aprionus betulae JASCHHOF, 1996 from Europe, is here split into three discrete species that differ in the standard DNA barcode sequence and in male genital characters. Aprionus betulae is redefined, and Aprionus subbetulae spec. nov. and Aprionus betuloides spec. nov. are described as new to science. DNA barcoding provided the initial indication that Aprionus betulae sensu JASCHHOF (1996) is a species complex. The usefulness of this technique for characterizing species of the fungivorous subfamilies of Cecidomyiidae is discussed on the basis of the author’s recent expe- riences. It is concluded that DNA barcoding is useful to indicate hidden biodiversity, but, unsupported by other means, is not sufficiently reliable to serve as a routine identification tool. In combination with morphological scrutiny, and only so, DNA barcoding is recommended as an effective method to uncover cryptic species.

A list of the 356 species of Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) recorded from Finland is presented, which comprises 6 Lestremiinae, 156 Micromyinae, 16 Winnertziinae, 69 Porricondylinae, and 109 Cecidomyiinae. The faunistic knowledge of Finnish Winnertziinae, Porricondylinae and Cecidomyiinae is regarded as particularly poor. Based on species numbers known from other countries in Europe, a conservative estimate is 700–800 species of Cecidomyiidae actually occurring in Finland.
