Systoechus laevifrons (Loew, 1855) (Diptera, Bombyliidae) is recorded from Finland. Having previously been known only from Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East, the species is new to the Western Palearctic region. ll verifiable previous records of Systoechus gradatus (Wiedemann in Meigen, 1820) from Finland proved to be misdentifications of Systoechus laevifrons. S. gradatus is here deleted from the national checklist of Finnish species. Systoechus laevifrons inherits the national red list status (CR) previously given to S. gradatus. Based on museum material, the historical range of Systoechus laevifrons in Finland covers most of the southern and middle parts of the country, but records are very sparse and scattered, with only five known localities. In the 21st century Systoechus laevifrons has only been found at two localities in Finland (S\äkyl\ä and Taipalsaari). Both are army artillery practice grounds on sandy soils. In 2021, at least twenty adults were seen nectaring primarily on Solidago virgaurea at the S\äkyl\ä site. In addition to the species record, we provide a partial DNA barcode analysis of the northern Holarctic Systoechus species as well as an updated key to the identification of the European species, and discuss the biology and distribution of Systoechus laevifrons.

A new species of window fly (Diptera: Scenopinidae), Scenopinus jerei sp. nov., with characteristic bicoloured legs and completely black halteres, is described from Finland. To exclude potential previously named species, a survey of the relevant type specimens as well as original descriptions of the Palearctic and Nearctic Scenopinus species has been conducted, including old Scenopinus fenestralis (Linnaeus) synonyms. Scenopinus jerei sp. nov. is likely to be an overlooked, boreal forest specialist living in the nests of cavity-nesting birds. An identification key to the European species is provided.

The genus Gymnocheta Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Diptera, Tachinidae) has until now been represented by two species in Europe, G. viridis (Fall\én, 1810) and G. magna Zimin, 1958. Two species are newly recorded from Finland and Sweden, Gymnocheta lucida Zimin, 1958 and G. zhelochovtsevi Zimin, 1958, both previously known only from the Russian Far East and Japan. These four European species are redescribed and illustrated, including the first description of the female of G. zhelochovtsevi. A key is provided to seven of the eight described species of Palaearctic Gymnocheta. The holotype of G. viridis was examined and found to differ from the present concept of the species, instead matching the concept of the more recently described G. magna. In the interests of nomenclatural stability, the two names are maintained in their current usage pending a request to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to replace the current holotype of G. viridis with a neotype that corresponds to the long-established concept of that species.

A new tachinid species, Linnaemya bergstroemi n. sp., is described from the Finnish Lapland. The new species closely resembles the Nearctic species Linnaemya anthracina Thompson, but can be readily distinguished from it by the charac- ters described in this paper. The taxonomic placement of the two species is discussed in the light of morphological and CoI sequence similarities with Linnaemya Robineau-Desvoidy species in the subgenera Ophina Robineau-Desvoidy and Bonellimyia Townsend. Known aspects of the new species\’ biology and distribution are reviewed.
