Abstract Abstract
A checklist of the families Anisopodidae, Bibionidae, Canthyloscelididae, Mycetobiidae, Pachyneuridae and Scatopsidae (Diptera) recorded from Finland. The Finnish species of these families were last listed in 1980. After that two species of Anisopodidae, four species of Bibionidae and six species of Scatopsidae have been added to the Finnish fauna and two species of Scatopsidae have been removed from the Finnish fauna.
Keywords: Checklist, Finland, Diptera, biodiversity, faunistics
Introduction
Six families (Anisopodidae, Bibionidae, Canthyloscelididae, Mycetobiidae, Pachyneuridae and Scatopsidae) are included in this paper. All six families have been rather poorly collected and studied in Finland. Lundström (1910) published a study of the family Bibionidae. During the last one hundred years, foreign specialists have contributed the majority of the new records and taxonomic treatises. Some Anisopodidae were treated by Krivosheina and Menzel (1998, 2002) and Bibionidae by Greve and Haenni (1994) and Skartveit (1999). Finnish scatopsid records were included in the synopsis of Palaearctic Scatopsidae by Cook (1969, 1972, 1974). The genera Anapausis Enderlein (Chandler 1999, Haenni 1984), Colobostema Enderlein (Haenni 2013, Krivosheina 2001) and Aspistes Meigen (Krivosheina 2000) have been examined in more detail. Recently Anisopodidae (Haarto 2011) and Bibionidae (Haarto 2012) have attracted some attention in the country. The only Finnish species of Pachyneuridae, Pachyneura fasciata Zetterstedt, 1838, was studied by Salmela and Ilmonen (2004) and removed from the Finnish Red List. The Finnish species of all six families were last listed by Hackman (1980). The Finnish faunae of anisopodids and bibionids have been recently reviewed by Haarto (2011, 2012). The nomenclature and the number of European species are presented according to the current listing of Fauna Europaea (Beuk and Pape 2013).
