Abstract

The Faroe Islands are isolated in the North Sea but, despite sparse vegetation,
are home to numerous insects. The diapriid fauna was previously studied by Kryger & Schmiedeknecht (1938) and Petersen (1956), but taxonomic knowledge has
advanced significantly so a reevaluation is necessary. This study aims to update
the diapriid checklist for the Faroes by reviewing historic material and some recent
collections from the island Koltur. We identified ten species: Aclista alticollis (Thomson, 1858), Aclista cf. insolita Nixon, 1957, Basalys abruptus (Thomson, 1858), B. longipennis (Kieffer, 1911), Miota exsecta Wall, 1998, Pantoclis similis (Thomson, 1858), P. trisulcata Kieffer, 1907, Synacra atracta Macek, 1995, Trichopria ? aptera (Ruthe, 1859), and Zygota parallela (Thomson, 1858) and found nine taxa new to the Faroes: Aclista, Synacra, Zygota, A. alticollis, B. abruptus, B. longipennis, M. exsecta, P. similis and S. atracta. In addition, we provide CO1 barcode sequences for A. alticollis, and an identification key for all Faroese diapriids.
