Review of the fossil record of Bolitophilidae, with description of new taxa and discussion of position of Mangas Kovalev (Diptera: Sciaroidea)

In marked contrast to related families such as Sciaridae and Mycetophilidae, the family has a poor fossil record with no definite species assigned to the genus.

New palaeodictyopterans from the Late Carboniferous of the UK (Insecta: Palaeodictyopteroida)
New palaeodictyopterans, Vernooijia sassoonae gen. et sp. nov. (Breyeriidae) and Mazonopterum cooperi sp. nov. (Homoiopteridae) are described from the Middle Pennsylvanian (Westphalian D/Late Asturian) of Writhlington, near Radstock (UK). Based on the re-examination of venation in Breyeria harlemensis, we propose the transfer of this species to the genus Vernooijia as...Prokop, J ; Pecharová, Martina ; Jarzembowski, Edmund A ; Ross, Andrew

A European record of the Nearctic species Nephrotoma saturalis wulpiana (Bergroth, 1888) (Dipter: Tipulidae) in Portugal
The circumstances of finding a second North American species of cranefly, Nephrotoma saturalis (Loew, 1863), in the Iberian Peninsula are given.
