Abstract

Two species of Lonchaeidae, Dasiops facialis Collin, 1953 and Lonchaea angelina MacGowan, 2014, are added to the British fauna based on specimens captured in a Malaise trap in Lochaber, Highland. The taxonomic history and geographical range of these species are discussed and comparisons are made between them and other British species of Lonchaeidae. Additional records are provided for Lonchaea deutschi Zetterstedt, 1837 which was added to the British fauna in 2020 and for Lonchaea ultima Collin, 1953 which is recorded from Scotland for the first time.
