New data on the fungus gnats fauna of the Taimyr Peninsula (Russia) are presented. Seventy-two species of the families Bolitophilidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae are reported, 65 of which are new for the area. Five species are newly recorded from Russia and two species \— from the Palaearctic region. Two new species: Boletina rodentistyla Polevoi, sp.n. and Boletina pyasina Maximova et Subbotina, sp.n. are described.

Sicus ogumae is recorded in Europe for the first time, with 58 locations reported from Finland. Its worldwide distribution is described and new records are added from China, Japan, Mongolia and Russia. The identification, distribution, taxonomy and known biology of S. ogumae are summarised.

A list of 48 species of the genus Agromyza FALL\ÉN, 1810 (Agromyzidae) occurring on the territory of Russia and adjacent countries together with localities and collection data is given. The first faunistic records from 7 European and 13 Asian countries in the Palaearctic Region are presented. All the species were determined by V. V. ZLOBIN (1953\–2008) and are kept in the collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, Russia. A new synonym of Agromyza viciae KALTENBACH, 1872 [= Agromyza quadriseta ZLOBIN, 2001 syn. nov.] is established, as well a new synonym of A. drepanura (MAMONOV, 1929) comb. nov. [= Agromyza drepanura HERING, 1930 syn. nov.]. All synonyms and known host plant genera are given for each taxon. A distribution table of the listed species of Agromyza in European countries is given, adding 232 first country and realm records to the \“Fauna Europaea\” that were either published but hitherto overlooked or are here documented for the first time. Data for the European part of Russia are organised following the five regions proposed in \“Fauna Europaea\”.

In the summers of 2001 and 2002, we quantitatively sampled human-biting flies in twelve sites located 1.6 to 63 km from a large copper-nickel smelter at Monchegorsk on the Kola Peninsula, Russia. We collected 429 specimens of three species of Ceratopogonidae, 92 specimens of seven species of Culicidae, 76 specimens of seven species of Tabanidae, and 4,788 specimens of 19 species of Simuliidae. Culicoides chiropterus was for the first time reported from the Kola Peninsula. Catches of Culicidae and Simuliidae decreased near the smelter, presumably due to the combined action of toxicity of pollutants, pollution-induced forest damage, and decline in vertebrate density. An abundance of Ceratopogonidae and Tabanidae, the size of the most common black fly species, Simulium pusillum, and the diversity of all families did not change along the pollution gradient.
