Six new Fennoscandian species ofEmpididae and Hybotidae are described and figured. Clinocera alta Jonassen sp. n., Hilara quasigriseola Jonassen sp. n. (Empididae), and Platypalpus argenticnemis Jonassen sp. n., P malaisei Vaesoja \& Jonassen sp. n., P parvilamellatus Jonassen sp. n., and P tuberculatus Jonassen sp. n. (Hybotidae).

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 R\übsaamen 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.

Specimens of the enigmatic, monotypic European genus Zuskamira Pont, 1987 (Sepsidae) were initially collected only from the lower central Swedish provinces of Darlana, Uppland and Vastmanland. However, the same species was subsequently found much more south in Lower-Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein although Germany is overall well sampled for sepsid flies. Here we report a further (longitudinal) range expansion based on new localities in Southern Finland. New localities for Finland and Sweden are here added and we discuss briefly the habitat requirements of the species.

Eight new species of Sciaridae (Diptera: Sciaroidea) are described from Northern Europe: Cratyna (s. str.) sicata spec. nov., Dolichosciara spissispina spec. nov., Lycoriella (s. str.) tenera spec. nov., Lycoriella (Hemineurina) piristylata spec. nov., Peyerimhoffia quadrifera spec. nov., Pseudolycoriella enigmatica spec. nov., Scatopsciara (Xenopygina) obliqua spec. nov. and Xylosciara (s. str.) senta spec. nov. The important morphological details of the new species are illustrated and discussed.
