Limoniidae is one of the most species-rich Dipteran families, with 661 reported species in Europe. Despite fact that European limoniid crane fly fauna has been studied ever since Carolus Linnaeus, it still poorly known.In this study, we summarise taxonomic and faunistic studies Limoniidae, which described new first country records, between 2010 2020. We also report occurrence data 244 represent records or conformational from various countries, as ten Albania, Austria, thirty-seven Belarus,...
Eleven rare species of Diptera (families Limoniidae, Scatopsidae, Axymyiidae, Mycetophilidae, Sciaridae, Platypezidae, Syrphidae and Clusiidae) with poorly known distribution ecology were recorded. For each species, basic diagnostic characteristics provided along the information on microhabitats. An attempt was also undertaken to outline possible associations wood-decaying macrofungi using nonparametric correlation.
The subfamily Gnoristinae is one of the most diverse and taxonomically difficult subfamilies Mycetophilidae, with new species genera being described almost every year from various parts world. Through inventories fungus gnats in Nordic Region Russia, a genus to science was discovered, yet links back an illustration made by late French entomologist Loïc Matile 1980s. DNA barcoding aligned it another science, distributed across Canada documented through Barcode Life Data System (BOLD) Paul D....
The family Axymyiidae includes four extant genera and nine species known from the Holarctic Oriental regions, with only one Mesaxymyia kerteszi (Duda, 1930) occurring in Europe. genus Plesioaxymyia Sinclair, 2013 was first discovered Alaska 1962, but officially described many years later. Up to now, included vespertina 2013, two female specimens western North America. During study of Diptera fauna Paanajarvi National Park (Northwest Russia), specimen , found. It differs Nearctic P. by...
The data on new findings of rare and noteworthy insect species in Karelia are presented, including for the regional East Fennoscandian fauna. These chiefly come from southern part Karelia. can be divided into two groups: first one includes belonging to poorly studied orders, other comprises non-native republic. expansion some these has been induced by human impact, whereas a majority probably appeared through natural areal expansion. possible reasons recent changes region's fauna discussed....
Fungus gnats represent an informal assemblage of insect families in the superfamily Sciaroidea.This is a highly diverse group comprising nearly 1000 species Fennoscandia.Fungus are comparatively well studied Republic Karelia, although coverage uneven.Hence, any new data from poorly known areas would provide better background for further analysis zoogeographical patterns both at local and Fennoscandian level.With just 100 species, fauna fungus Kostomuksha State Nature Reserve has until...
The superfamily Tipuloidea contains the following cranefly families: Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae and Tipulidae, with 1267 species known in Europe. Recent studies have increased our knowledge regarding these families substantially, but craneflies still represent an understudied group, even A previous paper focused on European summarizing faunistic taxonomic papers concerning family between 2010 2020, reported additional new country records. In this study, focus is other three...
New faunistic data on fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaroidea excluding Sciaridae) from Finland and NW Russia (Karelia Murmansk Region) are presented. A total of 64 34 species reported for the first time form Russian Karelia, respectively. Nine also new European fauna: Mycomya shewelli Väisänen, 1984, M. thula Acnemia trifida Zaitzev, 1982, Coelosia gracilis Johannsen, 1912, Orfelia krivosheinae 1994, Mycetophila biformis Maximova, 2002, monstera uschaica Subbotina & 2011 Trichonta palustris 2002.
Tree stand dynamics, changes in the ground vegetation and soils, species diversity of wood-decaying fungi were studied pristine middle boreal spruce forests affected by a surface fire Vodlozersky National Park (Arkhangelsk Region, Russia) 2011. In third year after fire, burnt area was dominated birch, which contributed an average 72% to total amount major tree regeneration. sites high-severity cover did not exceed 40%, with Chamaenerion angustifolium (L.) Scop. Marchantia polymorpha L....
Nine new species of the fungus-gnat genus Boletina Winnertz (B. falcata sp. n., B. hedstroemi struthioides kivachiana fennoscandica lapponica subtriangularis atridentata n. and cordata n.) are described from Russian Karelia, Finland Sweden. The descriptions based on recently collected specimens as well old material deposited in collection Museum Natural History, Helsinki, Finland. Most collecting localities situated oldgrowth reservations or habitats suggested to protection. Detailed...
A new Palaearctic species, Boletina palmata sp. nov., is described, and three other B. kurilensis Zaitzev, jamalensis Zaitzev pinusia Maximova, are redescribed. It demonstrated that many specimens from Fennoscandia formerly identified as belong to palmata, while true occurs only in northern parts of Murmansk Province Russia, Norway Finland. European previously proved pinusia, another closely-related struthioides Polevoi et Hedmark, found be a junior synonym jamalensis.
New data on four poorly known species of the genus Leia Meigen (L. nigricornis van Duzee, L. flavipennis Laštovka & Matile, iturupensis Zaitzev and rufiptera Ostroverkhova) are presented. Detailed redescriptions terminalia figures provided. is reported for first time from Palaearctic region automnala Ostroverkhova Grishina found to be a junior synonym flavipennis. A variation in male bimaculata illustrated, based specimens several European countries.
Thirty-seven species of fungus gnats new to Finland are reported. Eleven these reported in Fennoscandia for the first time: Diadocidia fissa Zaitzev, Macrocera estonica Landrock, M. nigricoxa Winnertz, pusilla Meigen, Boletina pallidula Edwards, Mycetophila morata ostentanea Trichonta nigritula T. subterminalis Zaitzev & Menzel, Neoempheria winnertzi Edwards and Neuratelia sintenisi Lackschewitz. The records based on original material collected large-scale trapping projects Southern...
Phronia avidoides sp.n. and fennica are described based on several adult males collected by Malaise trapping, sweep-netting rearing from decaying wood in Finland Russian Karelia the period 1989–2005. Detailed illustrations of male terminalia also presented for three further closely related but poorly known species, avida Gagne, 1975, petulans Dziedzicki, 1889 subsilvatica Hackman, 1970.
The rare Palaearctic species Tipula apicispina Alexander, 1934 and T. stenostyla Savchenko, 1964 are recorded for the first time from Russian Karelia. new data on their bionomics given. adults were collected with trunk eclector set a recently fallen aspen trunk. larvae develop under moss growing trunks, bases of old standing trees stumps hardwoods, as well ground near tree bases.
We report the first express study of insect fauna carried out in Onezhskoye Pomorye National Park, located northwest Arkhangelsk Region. Insects were collected along eastern coast Onega Bay White Sea, mainly at a distance up to 2–3 km from coastline. In total, we revealed 616 species 9 orders, most which are reported for time territory national park. The local mostly consists widespread boreal species, but there some peculiarities associated with geographic location area. There is group...
Eleven new species of fungus gnats are described from Kivach Nature Reserve, Russian Karelia: Mycomya indistincta Polevoi sp.n., Boletina triangularis B. minuta populina onegensis Allodia vernalis Brevicornu neofasciculatum A. Zaitzev setigerum parafennicum Dynatosoma dihaeta Phronia myrtilli sp.n. Illustrations male genitalia and ecological data provided. Brevi cornu improvisum is recorded for the first time Palearctic region.
Viable populations of two remarkable Coleoptera species -Cucujus cinnaberinus (Cucujidae) and Metoecus paradoxus (Rhipiphoridae) are reported for the first time from Republic Karelia (Russia).Cucujus is a threatened in northern Europe while widespread Palaearctic actively dispersing northwards.Both were found nature protected areas by local staff.This evidences importance such territories preserving monitoring rare poorly known species.
