ZooKeys 441: 165–181. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.441.7198 Abstract A checklist of the ‘lower Brachycera’ of Finland is presented. his part of the complete checklist of Finnish Diptera covers the families Acroceridae, Asilidae, Athericidae, Bombyliidae, Mythicomyiidae, Rhagionidae, Scenopinidae, Stratiomyidae, Tabanidae, herevidae, Xylomyidae and Xylophagidae. Keywords Species list, Finland, Diptera, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction his part of the checklist of the Diptera of Finland covers non-eremoneuran true lies (Diptera: Brachycera). he brachyceran lies excluded from the clade Eremoneura are often called the ‘lower Brachycera’ due to their basal position in the true ly tree of life. It remains unclear whether this assemblage of families is a monophyletic clade. here are also several models for the relative relationships of the various superfamilies and families.

Only two infraorders, Tabanomorpha and Asilomorpha, are recognized. he presentation order of families follows Woodley et al. (2009). World catalogues have recently been published for Stratiomyidae (Woodley 2001, 2011b), Xylomyidae (Woodley 2011a), Xylophagidae (Woodley 2011c), Bombyliidae (Evenhuis and Greathead 1999, 2003) and Mythicomyiidae (Evenhuis 2002). he Finnish species were last listed by Kahanpää and Winqvist (2005). Five species have been added since the last checklist: Haematopota italica Meigen, 1804, Lasiopogon septentrionalis Lehr, 1984, Nemotelus infortunatus Kahanpää, 2010, Xylophagus inermis Krivosheina & Krivosheina, 2000 and Zabrachia tenella (Jaennicke, 1866) (see Kahanpää 2013, Cannings and Kahanpää 2013, Kahanpää 2010, this paper, and Krivosheina and Rozkošný 1990 respectively). Table 1 summarizes the current family species counts for the world, Europe (based on Fauna Europaea), and Finland. Tabanomorpha he stratiomyoid and xylophagoid lineages are often treated as infraorders (Woodley et al. 2009). he soldierlies (Stratiomyidae) are very diverse in the tropics but the species diversity decreases sharply towards the higher latitudes. he wood soldier lies (xylomyids) is a small ly family associated with dead wood. he Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica series has a volume on stratiomyoid lies (Rozkošný 1973). A new Nemotelus species was recently described from Finland (Kahanpää 2010a). he Finnish rhagionids are relatively well known but a few additional species could occur in the country. Ptiolina is a problematic genus and the number of recognized species in Northern Europe has varied from two to seven during the last century. Athericidae was traditionally placed as a subfamily of Rhagionidae, but it seems more closely associated with Tabanidae (Marshall 2012). Itämies et al. (1990, 1993) have studied the distribution of Atherix ibis in Finland. he Finnish xylophagid fauna is relatively well sampled. Adults of the North European species can be identiied using Nartshuk (1988) or Kahanpää (2009). he larvae can also be identiied at least at the last larval stage (Stubbs and Drake 2001, Krivosheina and Krivosheina 1966). he tabanid nomenclature (especially Hybomitra) is quite convoluted and records in older publications must be taken with a grain of salt. Karvonen (1969) summarized the distribution of tabanids in Finland, but this work is now partially obsolete due to the diiculties in identifying Hybomitra and Haematopota before Chvála et al. (1972) was published. For identiication of North European tabanids Chvála et al. (1972) complemented with pictures in Zeegers and van Haaren (2000) or Krčmar et al. (2011) is recommended. An illustrated guide to the Finnish species is in preparation (A. Haarto, unpublished). Checklist of the ‘lower Brachycera’ of Finland: Tabanomorpha, Asilomorpha... 167 Table 1.

Most of the North European species are easy to identify but problems with Villa resulted in a cascade of name changes in the late 20th century. Falck (2009) and Blöchlinger (2008) are good starting points for identifying Villa adults. François (1969) has male genitalia igures for some of the more diicult Villa species. he Mythicomyiidae or micro bee lies were long seen as a subfamily of Bombyliidae. Identifying hereva species was also fraught with diiculties in the past but by the end of the 20th century the North European fauna was pretty well understood. A review of the Finnish therevid fauna with keys has recently been published (Haarto and Winqvist 2006). he window lies, Scenopinidae, is a smallish asiloid lineage associated with the therevids. It has even been proposed they are a specialized subgroup of the herevidae (Woodley 2009). Acroceridae he small-headed lies (Acroceridae) are a ly family of obscure origin. Ainities with Nemestrinidae, Tabanoidea, Stratiomyoidea, Bombyliidae and Asilomorpha have been proposed (see Marshall 2012 for further discussion). Finnish acrocerid records are mostly of single adults caught by sweep-netting, although Storå (1956) found groups of 20–40 Acrocera orbiculus swarming on a coastal meadow. he acrocerid species seem to have declined in abundance during the 20th century. Four of our ive Finnish species are now on the national red list (Kahanpää 2010b). 168 Jere Kahanpää et al. / ZooKeys 441: 165–181 (2014) Checklist part 1:Tabanomorpha (sensu lato) suborder Brachycera Macquart, 1834 clade Orthorrapha Brauer, 1863 superfamily Stratiomyoidea Latreille, 1802 STRATIOMYIDAE Latreille, 1802 BERIDINAE Westwood, 1838 BERIS Latreille, 1802 Beris chalybata (Forster, 1771) Beris clavipes (Linnaeus, 1767) Beris fuscipes Meigen, 1820 Beris hauseri Stuke, 2004 = strobli auct. nec.

It was synonymized with C. fuliginosus by Lehr (1991) but later considered valid by Bosák and Hradský (2001). Kahanpää and Winqvist (2005) accepted it as a Finnish species but upon re-examination we consider it most likely that the single Finnish specimen previously identiied as C. ursulus is a dark male of C. fuliginosus. Chrysopilus suomianus (Szilády, 1934). he type locality of this species is Enontekiö, Finland (Szilády 1934). Unfortunately the type material seems lost and the name is probably best treated as a nomen dubium. Based on Szilády’s original description it may be a dark form of C. nubecula. Hybomitra astuta (Osten Sacken, 1876). Kahanpää and Winqvist (2005) could not locate any material in Finnish collections. Several new records of this species have since been made and its presence in Finland is now conirmed. Hybomitra auripila (Meigen, 1820). he synonymy of Hybomitra auripila (Meigen, 1820) with H. aterrima (Meigen, 1820) was established by Schacht (1994) and is accepted here. Schiner (1862) already mentioned H. aterrima as synonym to H. auripila. Since we consider him to be the irst revisor, the name H. auripila is valid under the current Code. Hybomitra solstitialis (Meigen, 1820) has long been known to be a problematic taxon. It is separated from H. bimaculata (Macquart, 1826) based on color characters alone. he examined Finnish material includes a range of intermediates between typical H. bimaculata and H. solstitialis forms. It seems likely that the two names are synonymous, but types should be consulted before synonymy is formally published. Haematopota subcylindrica Pandellé, 1883. First recorded from Finland by Vuorimies (1984). Unfortunately the specimens listed in his paper could not be found and their identiication remains somewhat doubtful. 178 Jere Kahanpää et al. / ZooKeys 441: 165–181 (2014) Ogcodes borealis Cole, 1919. A single Finnish specimen collected in the mid-19th century is the sole Palearctic record of this species. Originally identiied and published by Hackman (1970), the record was later conirmed by Kahanpää and Winqvist (2005). O. borealis Cole sensu Schlinger (1960) may be a species complex. Ogcodes nigripes (Zetterstedt, 1838) is probably a senior synonym of O. zonatus Erichson, 1840. Ptiolina nigrina Wahlgren, 1854 may be a synonym of P. nigra Zetterstedt, 1842. Scenopinus sp. A is an apparently undescribed species near S. fenestralis with black femora. It occurs widely in Finland in association with bird nests. Villa halteralis (Kowarz, 1883). See Kahanpää and Winqvist (2005) for a discussion of the single supposed Finnish record of this species. Xylophagus ater Meigen, 1804. his name has widely been used for two species. Old Finnish checklists (Frey et al. 1941, Hackman 1980) followed the model also used in the world checklist Woodley (2011c) and used this name for the species also known as Xylophagus kowarzi (Pleske, 1925). On the British Isles the name X. ater is used as a senior name for X. compeditus Wiedemann in Meigen, 1820. According to Alexander and Clements (1991) and Chandler (1998a, b) the British usage is correct and it is followed here. hus, X. ater is the common species with females easily identiied by the three stripes of dusting on the mesonotum. Xylophagus inermis Krivosheina & Krivosheina, 2000 was described as a subspecies of X. matsumurae Miyatake, 1965 = maculatus Matsumura, 1916 (preoccupied by X. maculatus Meigen, 1804) (Krivosheina and Krivosheina 2000). It was raised to a full species status in the recent world catalogue (Woodley 2011c). All collected Finnish specimens formerly identiied as X. matsumurae were examined and they belong to X. inermis. Zabrachia tenella (Jaennicke, 1866). First recorded from Finland by Krivosheina and Rozkošný (1990). We have examined the Finnish Zabrachia material and conirmed the presence of both Z. tenella and Z. minutissima in the country.
