Three species of Trichoceridae (Diptera) are reported as new to Finland: Trichocera (Metatrichocera) forcipula Nielsen, 1920, Trichocera (Saltrichocera) rufulenta Edwards, 1938, and Trichocera (Staryia) dufouri Krzemi{\'n}ska, 2020. Trichocera arctica Lundstr\öm, 1915 is removed from the list of Finnish species. After a decades-long period without Finnish observations, Trichocera (Trichocera) sibirica Edwards, 1920 and Trichocera (Saltrichocera) maculipennis Meigen, 1818 are again recorded from the country.

The expansive, synanthropic moth fly species Clogmia albipunctata is reported for the first time from Finland. Several specimens were seen and photographed in a toilet in Kotka, SE Finland, in September 2018. The record was verified by collecting specimens that were later deposited in the Regional Museum of Lapland. There are three other records from 2015, 2018 and 2019 based on photos, from Kotka and Helsinki. The record of C. albipunctata from Finland is the first from the Nordic countries and is among the northernmost records of this global species. Identification, biology, impor- tance to human and distribution of the species are summarized.

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.

Chaoborus flavicans (Meigen) is a widespread and much studied lacustrine phantom midge. As larvae, these insects are important aquatic predators. Based on the available type material, morphology of immature stages and adults, their aquatic habitat, and DNA barcodes, C. flavicans is shown to be a composite of at least four species, with three of these named here. Chaoborus flavicans is primarily a lake-dwelling species with a Holarctic range. Chaoborus albipes (Johannsen, 1903 stat. rev.) and C. posio Salmela sp. n. are pond-dwelling Holarctic and north European species, respectively. The position of the larval subordinate mandibular tooth at the vertex of the second and fourth teeth is a synapomorphy of the Chaoborus flavicans species complex. We present an identification key to fourth instar larvae, pupae, and adult males. We also designate the lectotype and paralectotypes of Sayomyia rotundifolia Felt, 1904 (syn. nov. of C. albipes). We hypothesize that a fourth species of the species complex is present in Japan. Our revision indicates that Holarctic shallow ponds contain a hidden diversity of predators (C. albipes and C. posio sp. n.).

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.

The subfamily Gnoristinae is one of the most diverse and taxonomically difficult subfamilies of Mycetophilidae, with new species and genera being described almost every year from various parts of the world. Through inventories of fungus gnats in the Nordic Region and Russia, a genus and species new to science was discovered, yet with links back to an illustration made by the late French entomologist Lo\ïc Matile in the 1980s. DNA barcoding aligned it with yet another species new to science, distributed across Canada and documented through The Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) by Paul D. N. Hebert and colleagues at the BOLD team. The new Holarctic genus, Coelosynapha gen. n. is described, consisting of two new species, the Palaearctic Coelosynapha loici sp. n. and the Nearctic Coelosynapha heberti sp. n. DNA-barcodes assign the two new species to distinctly separated (8.27\% p-distance) Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) which are most closely aligned to unidentified species of Mycetophilidae from South Australia and Costa Rica on BOLD. The new genus shows morphological characteristics in between the two Holarctic genera Coelosia Winnertz, 1864 and Synapha Meigen, 1818 and further shows affinity to the southern continents genus Austrosynapha Tonnoir, 1929. The Palaearctic Coelosynapha loici sp. n., for which habitat requirements are best documented, is largely restricted to pristine, old-growth conifer (mostly spruce, Picea abies ssp. obovata) forests within the boreal vegetation zone, although it is also recorded from hummock tundra along the Anadyr River in Far East Russia.

A Porricondylinae gall midge species Neurepidosis gracilis Spungis, 1987 is reported for the first time from Finland. Larvae of the species were collected from pieces of coarse forest detritus and were reared to adults. The collecting site in South Finland, Tampere, was an aspen dominated boreal forest. Members of the genus Neurepidosis Spungis are rarely collected and poorly known; N. gracilis was hitherto known from Latvia and South Sweden only. Based on our record presented here, N. gracilis is a forest detritus associated species. The main diagnostic characters of the species are present in the male hypopygium: ventroapical margin of gonocoxites is slightly concave and gonostylus has a large, hyaline basal lobe.

Fungus gnats (Sciaroidea) are a globally species rich group of lower Diptera. In Europe, Fennoscandian peninsula in particular holds a notable diversity, ca. 1000 species, of which 10 \% are still unnamed. Fungus gnats are predominantly terrestrial insects, but some species dwell in wetland habitats.

Eight new fungus gnat species, belonging to the families Keroplatidae (Orfelia boreoalpina Salmela sp.n.) and Mycetophilidae (Sciophila holopaineni Salmela sp.n., S. curvata Salmela sp.n., Boletina sasakawai Salmela \& Kolcs\ár sp.n., B. norokorpii Salmela \& Kolcs\ár sp.n., Phronia sompio Salmela sp.n., P. reducta Salmela sp.n., P. prolongata Salmela sp.n.), are described. Four of the species are known from Fennoscandia only whilst two are supposed to have boreo-alpine disjunct ranges, i.e. having populations in Fennoscandia and the Central European Alps. One of the species probably has a boreal range (Finnish Lapland and Central Siberia). Type material of Boletina curta Sasakawa \& Kimura from Japan was found to consist of two species, and a further species close to these taxa is described from Finland. Phronia elegantula Hackman is redescribed and reported for the first time from Norway. DNA barcodes are provided for the first time for five species.

In the summer 2013 an insect survey was performed on state-owned nature conservation areas in Lapland. All the empidoid flies (Diptera: Empidoidea, excluding Dolichopodidae) were identified from the collected material. The purpose of this empidoid survey was to gain information of the species assemblage and abundance of the empidoid flies in Lapland and to create a basis for the assessment of their conservation status in 2020. A total of 37 Malaise traps were set at 18 sites consisting of Natura 2000 areas and other conservation sites. The traps were placed mostly on wetland habitats (aapamires, swamps, streams, springs etc.). The sampling period extended from early June till mid-September. Over 4500 individuals were caught altogether, consisting of 108 species. The most important findings were four species new to science and seven species new to Finland. In addition, 84 species were recorded as new to different biogeographical provinces in Lapland. Some of the species were recorded well beyond their earlier northernmost sites of occurrence in Finland. The survey yielded significant species recordings from almost all the sites in the study. The most species-rich sites were V\ärri\ö Strict Nature Reserve, T\örm\äoja and Pallas\–Yll\ästunturi National Park.

During 2012-2014, the Parks {\&} Wildlife Finland (Mets\ähallitus, Lappi) performed biodiversity inventories of insects by using Malaise traps. Malaise traps are suitable for collecting low-flying insects in all habitats. A total of 85 traps were set in 24 conservation areas. The traps were placed on aapamires, springs, alpine wetlands and forested habitats. The average collecting effort was 103 days/trap. The following orders were identified from the traps: hemipterans (Hemiptera), bark lice (Psocoptera), caddisflies (Trichoptera), several true fly families (Diptera) and beetles (Coleoptera). Four thoroughly well-studied insect groups consisting of selected nematoceran families, hemipterans, chironomids and caddisflies, were identified from all sites in all three years. The identified material consisted of ca. 80000 specimens. The observed total number of species was 2011, of which 752 species were singletons (i.e. were identified only from one conservation area). Most of the encountered species were dipterans (1587), other groups yielded 424 species (Hemiptera 184, Coleoptera 122, Trichoptera 86, Psocoptera 29). During the survey, a total of 112 species were found for the first time from Finland. The material included 58 taxa that are still undescribed, that is, they lack a scientific name. Of these undescribed taxa a vast majority were dipterans (57), only one was a caddisfly. A total of 66 nationally red-listed species (DD, NT, VU, EN) were observed. T\örm\äoja conservation area in Savukoski was the most species rich site (811), but the trapping effort (1113 trapping days) was also the highest there. There was a positive correlation between trapping effort and observed species richness and also between observed species richness and the number of red-listed species. The correlations of species richness between the four thoroughly studied groups were either weakly positive or no correlation was found. According to the Mantel test, assemblage variation of these four groups was concordant. In northern areas the importance of dipterans is relatively high. In the future true flies should be more often used as a target group in biotic inventories. In general, inventories and mappings should include several taxonomic groups, or different guilds or groups that differ in their habitat requirements. The relatively high number of undescribed species indicates how poorly we know assemblages inhabiting conservation areas. This report is also an example of a productive co-operation between the administration (Parks {\&} Wildlife Finland) and entomologists.

The subgenus Idiopyga Savchenko, 1987 is a northern hemisphere group of short-palped crane flies (Diptera, Limoniidae). In the current article we describe a new species, Dicranomyia ( I.) boreobaltica Salmela sp.n., and redescribe the male and female post-abdomen of a closely related species, D. (I.) intricata Alexander. A standard DNA barcoding fragment of 5\′ region of the cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene of the new species is presented, whilst the K2P minimum distances between the new species and 10 other species of the subgenus were found to range from 5.1 to 15.7 \% (mean 11.2 \%). Phylogenetic analyses (parsimony and maximum likelihood) based on COI sequences support the identity of the new species and its close relationship with D. (I.) intricata and D. (I.) esbeni (Nielsen). The new species is known from the northern Baltic area of Finland. The new species has been mostly collected from Baltic coastal meadows but an additional relict population is known from a calcareous rich fen that was estimated to have been at sea level circa 600-700 years ago. Dicranomyia (I.) intricata (syn. D. suecica Nielsen) is a Holarctic species, occurring in the north boreal and subarctic vegetation zones in Fennoscandia.

Vuonna 2005 tutkittiin Karjalohjan Kalkkim\äen, Karkalin luonnonpuiston, Lohjan Palom\äki-Lakim\äen ja Torholan luolan hy\önteislajistoa. Tutkimus kohdentui ensisijaisesti alueiden pienvesien hy\önteisiin, joita varten k\äytettiin viitt\ä Malaise-pyydyst\ä. Pyydysaineistosta ja aktiivipyyntimenetelmin ker\ätyst\ä aineistosta m\ä\äritettiin hy\önteiset lukuisten eri lahkojen osalta. Tutkimuksessa havaittin muutamia valtakunnallisesti uhanalaisia ja monia harvinaisia hy\önteislajeja. Mukana my\ös yksi Suomelle uusi perhoss\ä\äskilaji.
