Abstract Abstract
A species checklist is presented for Finland covering seven smaller families of Opomyzoidea: Anthomyzidae, Asteiidae, Aulacigastridae, Clusiidae, Odiniidae, Opomyzidae and Periscelididae (Diptera).
Keywords: Checklist, Finland, Diptera, biodiversity, faunistics
Introduction
The superfamily Opomyzoidea is likely to be para- or polyphyletic (see Wiegmann et al. 2011). It has long been used as a dumping grounds for acalyptrate taxa that do not fit well elsewhere. As such, the superfamily is poorly defined and hardly any two authors agree on its definition. Opomyzoidea includes one large family (Agromyzidae, the leaf-mining flies, with over 3000 described species) and more than a dozen small families. The exact number of recognized families varies. The Agromyzidae are treated elsewhere in this volume of ZooKeys. The remaining opomyzoid families are presented here in alphabetical order.
Hackman (1980) last listed the Finnish species of these families. World catalogues have recently been published for Periscelididae (Mathis and Rung 2011) and Odiniidae (Gaimari and Mathis 2011). For Anthomyzidae the Revision of West Palearctic Anthomyzidae by Roháček (2006, 2009) is followed. Three of the four Palearctic Aulacigaster species have been found in Europe (Kassebeer 2001, Rung and Mathis 2011). Papp and Withers (2011) reviewed the Palearctic Periscelidinae and proposed some nomenclatorial changes. Hackman’s (1959) review of the Finnish opomyzid fauna is still valuable but several additional species have since been recognized.

Notes
Aulacigaster pappi Kassebeer, 2001. Most of the Finnish Aulacigaster material belong to this species, including all specimens currently stored in the Finnish Museum on Natural History (MZH). Storå (1956, 1957) and Hackman (1980) misidentified Aulacigaster pappi as Aulacigaster leucopeza. A few Finnish specimens of the real Aulacigaster leucopeza were found in private collections.
Clusiodes gentilis (Collin, 1912). Lonsdale and Marshall (2007) record this species from Finland on a map. The data is apparently taken from Frey (1928). As Tuomikoski (1936) has pointed out, Frey misidentified Clusiodes caledonicus as Clusiodes gentilis.
