Abstract:

<p>A checklist is presented for the Finnish species of the fly families Xylophagidae, Stratiomyidae, Xylomyidae, Athericidae, Rhagionidae, Tabanidae, Acroceridae, Asilidae, Bombyliidae, Mythicomyiidae, Therevidae, Scenopinidae, Atelestidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Microphoridae. Seventeen species previously not recorded from Finland are here added to the Finnish fauna. The following species have been erroneously reported from Finland and are here deleted from the list of Finnish species: Tabanidae: Haematopota italica Meigen, 1804. Stratiomyidae: Odontomyia hydroleon (Linnaeus, 1758). Asilidae: Cyrtopogon maculipennis (Macquart, 1834), Machimus gonatistes (Zeller, 1840). Bombyliidae: Phthiria canescens Loew, 1846, Anastoechus nitidulus (Fabricius, 1794), Villa fasciata (Meigen, 1804), Villa longicornis Lyneborg, 1965, Villa panisca (Rossi, 1790). Therevidae: Cliorismia ardea (Fabricius, 1794), Cliorismia rustica (Panzer, 1804). Empididae: Wiedemannia fallaciosa (Loew, 1873), Empis punctata Meigen, 1804, Hilara hirtella Collin, 1927, Hilara pseudochorica Strobl, 1892, Hilara scrobiculata Loew, 1873, Hilara tetragramma Loew, 1873, Rhamphomyia poissoni (Theren, 1966), Rhamphomyia tibialis Meigen, 1822. Hybotidae: Crossopalpus abditus Kovalev, 1972. The Finnish records of Rhagionidae: Chrysophilus splendidus (Meigen), Asilidae: Epitriptus arthriticus (Zeller), Epitriptus cingulatus (Fabricius), Choerades fimbriata (Meigen) and Hybotidae: Drapetis incompleta Collin, 1926 are considered dubious, and they are not included in the checklist. The total number of species found from Finland in these families is now 483.</p>
