A check list compiled by Grichanor, (in press) has included about 320 species of long-legged flies (Dolichopodidae) known in the Swedish 1auna. Sone species hrve been recordccl lbr

They have been iclentified by the llrst authol rs a result of lllc lreating of about seven thousand unsorlccl dolichopodid specimcns collected rnainly during lhe last 40 yea$ by R. Danielssorr and H.
