Updated checklist of Limoniidae and Pediciidae craneflies from Corsica, largely based on the Our Planet Reviewed in Corsica 2019-2021 expeditions (Diptera)

Abstract

An updated checklist of the families Limoniidae (short-palped craneflies) and Pediciidae (hairy-eyed craneflies) from Corsica is presented here, based mostly upon collected material from the Our Planet Reviewed in Corsica 2019-2021 expeditions led by the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in collaboration with, and funded by, the Collectivité de Corse and the Office Français de la Biodiversité. Additional material was collected by the lead author. The expeditions produced 63 species, with ten first records for the island, including two new to the French fauna, and one species new to science. The current Corsican fauna of Limoniidae and Pediciidae now includes 90 species of Limoniidae and 12 of Pediciidae.
