The first modern Swedish checklist of fungus gnats of the families Bolitophilidae, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae is presented. The checklist results from a comprehensive literature research as well as treatment of a considerable determined and undetermined material from Swedish museum collections and recent material from several sources. To get better grounds for judging many old and doubtful records from Sweden, a nearly complete review of fungus gnats from the J. W. Zetterstedt collection at the Museum of Zoology in Lund has been undertaken and identifications corrected where needed. In order to preserve nomenclatural stability three species names are reinstated, all with priority over junior synonyms, viz. Orfelia lugubris (Zetterstedt, 1851) comb. n. = Orfelia tristis (Lundstr\öm, 1911) syn. n., Ectrepesthoneura ovata Ostroverkhova, 1977 = Ectrepesthoneura bucera Plassmann, 1980 syn. n., and Dynatosoma thoracicum (Zetterstedt, 1838) sens. auct. nec Zaitzev = Dynatosoma norwegiense Zaitzev \& \Økland, 1994 syn. n. We further find the holotype of Mycetophila grisea Zetterstedt, 1852 to be identical to Mycetophila perpallida Chandler, 1993, but retain Mycetophila perpallida pending a review of other possible synonyms with precedence. Ectrepesthoneura pubescens (Zetterstedt, 1860) is found to be a synonym of Ectrepesthoneura unifurcata (Zetterstedt, 1860) comb. n. syn. n. where the first name is retained as valid due to page priority. Four names described by Zetterstedt remain nom. dub., viz.: Mycomya diluta (Zetterstedt, 1860), Mycomya (Mycomya) notata (Zetterstedt, 1860), Brevicornu fusculum (Zetterstedt, 1838), and Brevicornu obscurellum (Zetterstedt, 1838) comb. n. Stigmatomeria obscura (Winnertz, 1863) sp. restit. is found to be a distinct species separate from Stigmatomeria crassicornis (Stannius, 1831). New combinations are suggested for Exechia praedita Plassmann, 1976 = Exechiopsis (Xenexechia) praedita (Plassmann, 1976) comb. n., and for Rhymosia pectinacea Ostroverkhova, 1979 = Pseudexechia pectinacea (Ostroverkhova, 1979) comb. n. Having removed 17 published species names with doubtful or wrong records (listed at the end) we find that the published sources comprise altogether 585 species. 137 species are reported for the first time in Sweden, bringing the total up to 722. Additional 36 species considered to be new to science are mentioned for completeness, but will be further presented and described elsewhere. Hence, at present the known fauna (including claimed undescribed species) comprises 758 species in 83 genera; 25 species of the family Bolitophilidae, 5 of the family Diadocidiidae, 3 of the family Ditomyiidae, 45 of the family Keroplatidae, 679 of the family Mycetophilidae and 1 in the unplaced genus Sciarosoma Chandler. For each species a full account of published Swedish sources with pagination, all synonyms used in Sweden and the currently known distribution in the Swedish provinces as well as the known world distribution is given. The Swedish species of fungus gnats are generally very widespread: 47\% being widespread in Europe, 43\% being distributed in the Eastern Palaearctic Region, and 25\% having a Holarctic distribution. We find significantly higher species richness in the boreal forests of northern Sweden, but only 3\% of the species so far described are known only from the Nordic biogeographical region.

Additionally two species are confirmed, increasing the known Finnish fauna to 699 species.

Three species are reported for the first time from the Palaearctic region, viz.: Sciophila setosa, Exechiopsis (Xenexechia) perspicua and Pseudexechia canalicula. The new records are based mainly on original material collected in southern Finland in 2003 - 2004. In addition the collections at the Finnish Museum of Natural History, Helsinki were re-examined for the genera Boletina (in part), Allodiopsis, Exechia, Exechiopsis, Myrosia, Notolopha, Rymosia and Synplasta. Detailed information on Finnish records as well as data on the general distribution and taxonomical notes are given for each species new to Finland. }, url = {http://www.online-keys.net/sciaroidea/2000_/Jakovlev_et_al_2006_Seventy_species_of_fungus_gnats_new_to_\%7E1.pdf}, author = {Jakovlev, Jevgeni and Kj{\ae}randsen, Jostein and Polevoi, Alexei} } @article {22327, title = {Fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaroidea excl.

Fungus gnats in boreonemoral forests of south Sweden are studied using material collected with Malaise and window traps from 17 localities in the years 2001 and 2002. 250 species are recorded including 76 species new to Sweden. 14 of these are found in Fennoscandia for the first time: Docosia setosa LANDROCK, D. spec. (indet. sensu HUTSON et al. 1980), Brevicornu cognatum OSTROVERKHOVA, Mycetophila eppingensis CHANDLER, M. lobulata A. ZAITZEV, M. pyrenaica MATILE, M. subsigillata A. ZAITZEV, Sceptonia cryptocauda CHANDLER, S. flavipuncta EDWARDS, S. longisetosa SEVCIK, S. pilosa BUKOWSKI, S. pughi CHANDLER, Sciophila interrupta (WINNERTZ) and S. plurisetosa EDWARDS. One new synonym is proposed: Dynatosoma dihaeta POLEVOI, 1995 = Dynatosoma schachti PLASSMANN, 1999 syn. nov.
