Abstract

A checklist of the Braulidae (1 species), Camillidae (3 spp.), Diastatidae (10 spp.) and Drosophilidae (67 spp.) of Finland is presented. Campichoetinae is included as a subfamily of Diastatidae.

Keywords

Checklist, Finland, Diptera , biodiversity, faunistics

Introduction

The Ephydroidea is now recognized as a well-supported, probably monophyletic clade of acalyptrate flies (Wiegmann et al. 2011), although the correct placement of some of the included families – especially the very unsual bee louses of family Braulidae – is still being discussed. The relationships of the families within the superfamily are less understood and the families are listed alphabetically in the checklist below. Seven or eight families are currently included in Ephydroidea. Five of them are found in Finland. Four families are covered in this paper; the fifth (Ephydridae itself) has its own treatment in this volume of ZooKeys. The families missing from Finland are the Curtonotidae, Cryptochetidae, and Nannodastiidae with uncertain affinities (Papp and Mathis 2001). Griffiths (1972) proposed a new family, Campichoetidae, for Campichoeta Macquart, 1835. We follow the world catalogue of Diastatidae (Mathis and Barraclough 2011) and keep Campichoetinae as a subfamily of Diastatidae.

World catalogues have been recently published for Diastatidae (Mathis and Barraclough 2011) and Drosophilidae (Brake and Bächli 2008). The North European Drosophilidae were treated in detail by Bächli et al. (2004) and the review of Finnish Drosophila by Hackman (1954) is now obsolete. The Finnish species of Braulidae and Camillidae were last listed by Hackman (1980); the diastatids were treated by Chandler (1987).
