Abstract
An annotated checklist of Lonchaeidae (Diptera) of the Republic of Mordovia (European Russia) is provided based on the materials collected from 2019 to 2021 mainly in beer traps at fixed heights in the forest canopy and with a Malaise trap. In total, 3254 specimens were examined, of which 2004 were identifiable to species level providing the records of 29 species in five genera. We have found 18 species of Lonchaeidae new to the fauna of Mordovia. Lonchaea cervisiae sp. nov. is described as new to science and L. fraxina MacGowan et Rotheray, 2000 is recorded as new to Russia. Earomyia mordovia MacGowan et Ruchin, 2022, syn. nov., is synonymised with E. schistopyga Collin, 1953.
