Records 31 specimens of Lonchaea affinis\  (as L. laxa) from Norway.\  There is also a single record of L. stacklebergi but this may need to be verified as it can be a difficult species to determine.

page editors note: The species refferred to here as Lonchaea aristella is almost certainly Silba adipata. A study was carried out on the two main pests of the fig tree, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Lonchaea aristella (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) for 3 years (2002, 2003 and 2004). The trials took lace in an orchard in the Agricultural Experimental Station, in Tavira, Portugal. In this orchard there are 200 trees, 100 of the cultivar Lampa Preta and 100 of the cultivar B\êbera Branca, occupying an area of 2000 m2. The population density of both pests was determined, using Tephri traps supplemented with alimentary attractants. For monitoring and control of C. capitata, 10 Tephri traps with triple alimentary attractant (putrescine, trimethylamine and ammonium acetate) and an insecticide tablet (dichlorvos) were placed in each cultivar. For monitoring and control of L. aristella, eight Tephri traps were placed in each cultivar, four with triple alimentary attractant and an insecticide tablet and four with protein hydrolysate and water with Teepol. All the traps also contained four small branches (\≈3 cm long) of fig tree to increase the attractivity of the black fig fly. The traps used in this study were placed at random in order to cover all the orchard area. The trapped insects were counted weekly. Results showed that L. aristella was present in very low numbers (a total of 5 in both cultivars) and only in the last 2 years. The number of adults of C. capitata captured varied from 1-46 during June to a maximum of 424 in September 2004 and mainly in the cultivar B\êbera Branca. In both pests, the sex-ratio showed that there were more females than males in the populations of these insects. It was also verified that, for both the studied pests, the most efficient traps were the ones that contained protein hydrolysate, fig branches and water with Teepol

Examination of Lonchaeidae in the collections of two European museums revealed two undescribed species of Lonchaeidae from Greece, one in the genus Dasiops, D. hellas spec. nov., and one in the genus Lonchaea, L. spicata spec. nov.. These species are described and their relationship to other species of European Lonchaeidae is discussed.

This publication represents the first full review of British Lonchaeidae (Diptera) since Collin (1953). Iain MacGowan is responsible for adult taxonomy and Graham Rotheray for larval taxonomy.\  The British fauna is placed in a European context and a short overview of Lonchaeidae world-wide is provided. The number of species recognised as British has grown from 28 in 1953 to 46 in 2005 and a revised British checklist is provided.\  Adult and larval morphology are described and key characters illustrated and discussed. Adult and larval ecology is reviewed.\  Fully illustrated keys to adults are provided for the 5 genera and 46 species of British Lonchaeidae. A key to known puparia is also provided. Species accounts are given which provide additional taxonomic notes, review the British and European distribution of each species and give detailed ecological information where available.
