Introduction

Four families make up the traditional superfamily : , , and . The monophyly of the superfamily has been strongly questioned (Nirmala et al. 2001, Kutty et al. 2010) on the basis of DNA sequence analyses. Three of the four families of are treated in this paper, the fourth () is covered in a separate paper in this issue of ZooKeys. All three are important components of the Finnish fly fauna as can be seen from the large number of species involved and the fact that the species recorded from the country represent up to one fifth of the world fauna in the case of . Unfortunately the muscoid flies have been poorly collected and studied in Finland in comparison with many other families. Lauri Tiensuu concentrated on these families during the 1930s (1935, 1938, 1939) and Walter Hackman (1956) reviewed the Finnish . During the last ten years, both the fanniids (Kahanpää and Haarto 2013) and the muscids (Kahanpää 2013) have attracted some attention in the country. The number of species known from the country has increased markedly since the year 2000. The Finnish muscoid species were last listed by Hackman (1980). Number of species by family.
