A new species Brachypogon (Isohelea) surma sp. n., with unique, leaf-like parameres, is described from Finnish Lapland based on males. Illustrations and COI sequences of this species are also provided. Females and males of Brachypogon (I.) singularis (Santos Abreu, 1918) from the Canary Islands are redescribed, a neotype is designated, and Ceratolophus rufigastris Santos Abreu, 1918 and Ceratolophus obscurus Santos Abreu, 1918 are proposed to be its new junior synonyms.

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\”.

All available type material of Tipula stackelbergi Alexander, Tipula usuriensis Alexander and Tipula subpruinosa Mannheims were examined. Tipula (Yamatotipula) stackelbergistat. rev. is elevated from a subspecies of Tipula (Yamatotipula) pruinosa Wiedemann to a valid species. Two new synonyms are proposed: Tipula usuriensissyn. n. proved to be a junior synonym of. Tipula (Yamatotipula) pruinosa and Tipula subpruinosasyn. n. a junior synonym of Tipula (Yamatotipula) freyana Lackschewitz. Tipula (Yamatotipula) stackelbergi is redescribed, male and female terminalia of Tipula (Yamatotipula) pruinosa are illustrated and discussed. Female terminalia of Tipula (Yamatotipula) freyana are described and illustrated for the first time. A key to both sexes of Tipula (Yamatotipula) stackelbergi and Tipula (Yamatotipula) pruinosa, and a key to females of Tipula (Yamatotipula) chonsaniana, Tipula (Yamatotipula) freyana and Tipula (Yamatotipula) moesta are provided. Subspecies are not uncommon among crane flies, but their ranges and traits are poorly known. An interdisciplinary approach (genetics, ecology, taxonomy) is suggested if subspecific ranks are to be used in tipuloid systematics.

With 552 species group names available (excluding misspellings), the Microdontinae constitute the smallest of the three subfamilies of Syrphidae. Paradoxically, this subfamily is taxonomically the least organized of the three: 388 species names were previously classified in a single genus, Microdon Meigen, 1803. Te present paper introduces a new generic classification of the Microdontinae, relying partly on the results of phylogenetic analyses of morphological and molecular data as published in other papers, and partly on examination of primary type specimens of 347 taxa, plus additional material, and original descriptions. A total number of 67 genus group names (excluding misspellings) are evaluated, redescribed, diagnosed and discussed, with several implications for their taxonomic status. Of these, 43 names are considered as valid genera, 7 as subgenera, 17 as synonyms. Two generic names (Ceratoconcha Simroth, 1907, Nothomicrodon Wheeler, 1924) are left unplaced, because they are known from immature stages only and cannot be reliably associated with taxa known from adults. Te following 10 new genera are described by Reemer: Domodon, Heliodon, Laetodon, Menidon, Mermerizon, Metadon, Peradon, Piruwa, Sulcodon and Tompsodon. A key to all genera, subgenera and species groups is given. A total number of 26 new species are described in the following genera: Archimicrodon Hull, 1945, Ceratrichomyia S\éguy, 1951, Domodon, Furcantenna Cheng, 2008, Heliodon, Indascia Keiser, 1958, Kryptopyga Hull, 1944, Masarygus Br\èthes. 1908, Mermerizon, Metadon, Microdon, Paramixogaster Brunetti, 1923, Piruwa, Pseudomicrodon Hull, 1937, Rhopalosyrphus Giglio-Tos, 1891, and Tompsodon. New lectotypes are designated for Ceratrichomyia behara S\éguy, 1951 and Microdon iheringi Bezzi, 1910. A total number of 267 new combinations of species and genera are proposed. New synonyms are proposed for 19 species group names. Tree replacement names are introduced for primary and secondary junior homonyms: Microdon shirakii nom. n. (= Microdon tuberculatus Shiraki, 1968, primary homonym of Microdon tuberculatus de Meijere, 1913), Paramixogaster brunettii nom. n. (= Mixogaster vespiformis Brunetti, 1913, secondary homonym of Microdon vespiformis de Meijere, 1908), Paramixogaster sacki nom. n. (= Myxogaster variegata Sack, 1922, secondary homonym of Ceratophya variegata Walker, 1852). An attempt is made to classify all available species names into (sub)genera and species groups. Te resulting classification comprises 454 valid species and 98 synonyms (excluding misspellings), of which 17 valid names and three synonyms are left unplaced. Te paper concludes with a discussion on diagnostic characters of Microdontinae.
