Abstract
A checklist of 112 species of shore flies (Ephydridae, Diptera) recorded from Finland is presented. Comparing this to the list of Hackman (1980), 52 changes are made: 25 species are added (all but one recorded after 1980), 18 misidentifications are deleted, 5 junior synonyms are replaced and 5 updated generic combinations are given.
Highlights
Shore flies (Ephydridae) are dark coloured, dull to shining, 1–6 mm long flies
The group is divided into 5 subfamilies and 19 tribes (Zatwarnicki 1992), of which 15 could potentially be found in Finland
Two species are endemic for Finland: Psilopa nitidifacies Frey, 1930, and Gymnoclasiopa psilopina (Frey, 1933)
