Atrichopogon minutus
Atrichopogon minutus is a species of biting midge in the family Ceratopogonidae, first described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1830. Originally placed in the genus Ceratopogon, it was later transferred to Atrichopogon. The species belongs to the subfamily Forcipomyiinae, a group whose members are often associated with various ecological roles including pollination and parasitism. Records indicate presence in European and Atlantic island localities including the Azores.
Diplonevra nitidula
Diplonevra nitidula is a species of scuttle fly in the family Phoridae. It belongs to the subfamily Aenigmatiinae, a group characterized by reduced wing venation and often associated with ant colonies. The species was first described by Meigen in 1830 under the basionym Phora nitidula. Records indicate presence in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Geomyza apicalis
Geomyza apicalis is a species of fly in the family Opomyzidae, described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1830. This small dipteran belongs to a family commonly known as flat-footed flies, characterized by their distinctive leg structure. The species has been recorded from northern Europe, specifically Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Neolimnophila placida
Placid Crane Fly
Neolimnophila placida is a crane fly species in the family Limoniidae, subfamily Chioneinae. It is widely distributed across the Holarctic region, occurring in both the Nearctic and Palaearctic realms. The species has been documented from northern North America through much of Europe and across northern Asia to Japan. Like other limoniid crane flies, it is associated with moist habitats where larvae develop in decaying organic matter.
Renocera striata
Renocera striata is a species of marsh fly in the family Sciomyzidae, a group commonly known as snail-killing flies due to the predatory or parasitic larval associations with molluscs. The species was described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1830, originally placed in the genus Sciomyza. It is recorded from parts of northern Europe including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Like other members of Sciomyzidae, its biology is likely tied to aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats where gastropod hosts occur, though specific details for this species remain poorly documented.
Schroederella iners
Schroederella iners is a small fly species in the family Heleomyzidae, first described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1830. The species is documented from northern Europe, with confirmed records from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Like other members of Heleomyzidae, it is likely associated with decaying organic matter, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Telomerina flavipes
lesser dung fly
Telomerina flavipes is a species of lesser dung fly in the family Sphaeroceridae, a group of small Diptera commonly associated with decomposing organic matter. The species was first described by Johann Wilhelm Meigen in 1830 under the name Borborus flavipes. It is currently known from scattered records in northern Europe including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. As a member of Sphaeroceridae, it likely inhabits environments rich in decaying plant or animal material, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
