... did not include it in their catalog of the Iberian Peninsula; subsequently, indicate it from the north of the same without specifying any locality, they only mention that this species, in the southwest of Europe, reaches the Pyrenees; therefore, with our captures its distribution is extended and its presence in the Iberian Peninsula is confirmed (Figure 63). This species is reported from northern and central Europe, the Caucasus, Iran, and a few isolated records in central and eastern Asia (Figures 65 and 66) [33,34,35,36,37,38,39]. ...

The Tipulidae serve as food for several species of birds and insects. Many fish and some waterfowl feed on the larvae. They are vulnerable to fungal infection. Some aquatic larvae are used as bait in recreational fishing. The Tipulidae are agricultural pests of economic importance because the larvae live in the upper layers of the soil, where they feed on the roots, root hairs, crowns, and sometimes the leaves of crops, stunting their growth or killing the plants. The manuscript aims to report the importance of Tipulidae in the natural control of Culicidae. The bibliographic verification of Tipulidae was carried out from 1906 to 2022. Manuscripts published in scientific journals and digital platforms on the subject were examined. With this paper, it expands the knowledge of the bioecology and bionomy of Tipulidae.

Sixteen subgenera of the genus Tipula Linnaeus, 1758 (Diptera, Tipulidae, Tipulinae) have been recorded from Norway, and their distribution is surveyed in this paper. Notes on the flight period and habitats are also given. Ten species of Tipulidae are reported new to the Norwegian fauna: Ctenophora (Ctenophora) nigriceps (Tjeder, 1949), Dolichopeza (Dolichopeza) bifida Oosterbroek & Lantsov, 2011, Nephrotoma flavipalpis (Meigen, 1830), Tipula (Acutipula) luna Westhoff, 1879, Tipula (Emodotipula) obscuriventris Strobl, 1900, Tipula (Lindnerina) bistilata Lundström, 1907, Tipula (Lunatipula) humilis Staeger, 1840, Tipula (Pterelachisus) pauli Mannheims, 1964, Tipula (Savtshenkia) interserta Riedel, 1913 and Tipula (Schummelia) zonaria Goetghebuer, 1921. An updated and annotated checklist of species occurring in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland is presented, including distributional data for Norway. Tipula (Lunatipula) livida van der Wulp, 1859 is removed from the list of Norwegian species, based on insufficient evidence for its presence in the country.

The faunistic knowledge of the Diptera of Morocco recorded from 1787 to 2021 is summarized and updated in this first catalogue of Moroccan Diptera species. A total of 3057 species, classified into 948 genera and 93 families (21 Nematocera and 72 Brachycera), are listed. Taxa (superfamily, family, genus and species) have been updated according to current interpretations, based on reviews in the literature, the expertise of authors and contributors, and recently conducted fieldwork. Data to compile this catalogue were primarily gathered from the literature. In total, 1225 references were consulted and some information was also obtained from online databases. Each family was reviewed and the checklist updated by the respective taxon expert(s), including the number of species that can be expected for that family in Morocco. For each valid species, synonyms known to have been used for published records from Morocco are listed under the currently accepted name. Where available, distribution within Morocco is also included. One new combination is proposed: Assuania melanoleuca (Séguy, 1941), comb. nov. (Chloropidae).

An overview of the Tipulidae known to occur in northern Morocco with an emphasis on the Rif mountains is given, incorporating new distribution data based on recently collected material in the area. Dolichopeza (Dolichopeza) hispanica, Tipula (Lunatipula) subpustulata, and Tipula (Yamatotipula) afriberia afriberia are recorded for the first time for the Rif. Tipula (L.) stimulosa Mannheims, 1973 and T. (Vestiplex) vaillanti vaillanti Theowald, 1977 are reported for the first time for the Rif and Morocco. Tipula (Lunatipula) pseudocinerascens Strobl, 1906 and Tipula (Savtshenkia) confusa van der Wulp, 1883 are recorded for the first time for the Rif, Morocco and North Africa. A new species of the subgenus Lunatipula, T. (L.) pjotri n. sp., is described and illustrated. Nephrotoma exastigma, previously reported for the Rif, seems to be absent in Morocco. Reports of Tipula (Emodotipula) obscuriventris Strobl, 1900 for Morocco actually refer to T. (E.) leo. This brings the number of Tipulidae for Morocco to 39 species and for the Rif to 28. An updated checklist of the Tipulidae of Morocco is provided.

Since 1998, the cranefly fauna was observed as bycatch in the area of “Lebendiges Bienenmuseum” in Knüllwald, North Hesse. A total of 26 species have been identified, including Tipula (Yamatotipula) montium Egger, 1863, which represent the first records for Hesse. For the recorded species annotations to the habitat requirements and correlations with the biotopes from the investigated area and its nearby habitats was made. Furthermore, an assessment of the recorded species regarding to the Tipulids fauna of Hesse was done. Zusammenfassung Seit 1998 wird die Schnakenfauna auf dem Gelände des Lebendigen Bienenmuseums in Knüllwald, Nordhessen als Beifang mit erfasst. Insgesamt konnten seither 26 Arten nachgewiesen werden, darunter Tipula (Yamatotipula) montium Egger, 1863 als Erstnachweis für Hessen. Anmerkungen zu den Habitatansprüchen der nachgewiesenen Arten werden gemacht und diese in Beziehung zu den auf dem untersuchten Gelände vorhandenen und den angrenzenden Lebensräumen gesetzt. Eine Bewertung der Nachweise im Hinblick auf die Tipuliden-Fauna Hessens wird vorgenommen.
