[Förteckning över svenska styltflugor (Diptera: Dolichopodidae).] – Entomologisk Tidskrift 123 (3): 119- 130. Uppsala, Sweden 2002. ISSN 0013-886x. A checklist of Swedish Dolichopodidae is presented including a total of 321 species, 12 of which are new Swedish records. Lectotypes and paralectotypes are designated for 10 spe- cies, and 11 new synonyms are proposed.

Introduction The Dolichopodidae fauna of the world is very (Hedström, 1966a,b; Weslien, 1992; Andersson, large, with approximately 6500 described spe- 1999).

It should be mentioned bark-beetles (Coleoptera). that the non-type collection of Zetterstedt still Recently check lists of dolichopodids have has not been fully revised. Several old species are been compiled or revised for several European known by females only and there are some countries (e.g., Olejníèek, 1997; Chandler, 1998; doubtful records of Dolichopodidae from the Bellstedt et al., 1999).
