Description
Summary:species are established for the first time in some provinces. Chrysopa commata, Chrysopa formosa, Peyerimhoffina gracilis and Nineta pallida are added to the species hitherto known in the area. So far, 82 species are known from Northern Europe. Of the individual national fau-nas that of Sweden has the most complete subset, 76 species, due to the presence of the tundral fauna in Lappmark (Sialis sibirica) and the thermophilous fauna in the southern provinces Skåne and Småland (Osmylus fulvicephalus) and the islands of Öland and Gotland (Aleuro-pteryx loewii). The territory of Denmark is not a part of the coniferous forest zone but belongs to the deciduous forest zone. Expectedly, some species, absent in Scandinavia, occur in Den-mark (Sialis nigripes, Helicoconis hirtinervis, Hypochrysa elegans), while other species, typ-ical for the taiga, do not occur here (Sialis sordida, Raphidia ophiopsis, Hemerobius simulans, Wesmaelius mortoni). Norway and Finland have a reduced Swedish fauna. Chrysopa dasy-ptera from Finland is the only species in the two countries which does not occur in Sweden.
