The first catalogue of the insect fauna of the Parque das Serras do Porto (northern Portugal) is presented, including a compilation of literature records and new data mainly obtained in Couce (Valongo). The catalogue contains 210 species (101, or 48.1%, recorded for the first time from the area) spanning nine orders of the class Insecta, and is the first comprehensive list of the area's entomofauna.
... As most probable, we consider Microsania larvae to be living in or on soil. The observations of Ebejer & Andrade (2010) may support this hypothesis. They have documented the habitat of adult Microsania meridionalis Collart, 1960 on sandy shores in northern Portugal (Figs S6 and S7). ...
The molecular phylogeny of flat-footed flies is inferred from analysis of DNA sequence data from the five mitochondrial genes 12S, 16S, COI, COII and CytB, and the nuclear gene 28S and discussed with the recent systematics based on morphological features. The Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses included 42 species of 18 genera, representing all four extant subfamilies (Microsaniinae, Melanderomyiinae, Callomyiinae and Platypezinae) and all known genera except one (Metaclythia). Representatives of the brachycerous taxa Lonchopteridae, Phoridae, Sciadocerinae (Phoridae) and Opetiidae are used as outgroups, and Lonchoptera was used to root the trees. Our results show Platypezidae consisting of two well-supported clades, the first with the subfamilies Melanderomyiinae + Callomyiinae and the second formed by subfamily Platypezinae. Genus Microsania was resolved as a separate lineage distant from Platypezidae which clustered with Opetiidae as its sister group, both together forming a sister group to Platypezidae. At the generic level, the genus Agathomyia proved not to be monophyletic in any of the analyses. The species Chydaeopeza tibialis is sister to Agathomyia sexmaculata, and consequently, the genus Chydaeopeza Shatalkin, 1992 is a new junior synonym of Agathomyia Verrall, 1901. Bifurcated setae on legs of adult Platypezidae are documented as a new synapomorphy of the family, exclusive of Microsania. Outstretched wings and only a small overlap of their surfaces at resting position are considered a new synapomorphy for the subfamily Platypezinae. Other phylogenetically important characters defining main clades are documented, and their relevance/validity in phylogenetic studies is discussed. The current systematic concept of Platypezidae is discussed, and new phylogenetic hypotheses are proposed.

Altogether 18 species of the families Opetiidae and Platypezidae are reported from Romania, based on newly studied material and previously published records. The following three species are recorded from Romania for the first time: Agathomyia
vernalis Shatalkin, 1981, Callomyia
saibhira Chandler, 1976, and Lindneromyia
hungarica Chandler, 2001. The presented differential diagnosis and a detailed redescription of body and genitalia of the male of Callomyia
saibhira are based on one specimen which is the first male found in Europe. Information about distribution and biology of all 18 Romanian species is provided as well as photographs of selected important species. Finally, a new checklist of all Romanian species is given.
Twenty-six species of Diptera are recorded for the first time from the Gaia Biological Park (northern Portugal), raising the known local diversity of this group to 46 species. A list including the novelties and the previously recorded 20 species is presented and the particular interest of the records of two of the novelties is highlighted.
