А. Полевой, Ю. Салмела. НОВЫЕ ДАННЫЕ О РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИИ LIMONIA BADIA WALKER И GNOPHOMYIA ACHERON ALEXANDER (DIPTERA, LIMONIIDAE) В ВОСТОЧНОЙ ФЕННОСКАНДИИ
Приводятся данные о новых находках Limonia badia Walker и Gnophomyia acheron Alexander (Diptera, Limoniidae) в Восточной Фенноскандии (Республика Карелия). Оба вида впервые отмечаются на европейской части России. Кратко рассматриваются их биология и природоохранный статус.

Introduction
Recent faunistic studies in Republic Karelia have revealed many remarkable species from different taxonomic groups of Diptera. These include not only new regional records [Grichanov, Polevoi, 2004; Humala, Polevoi, 2009], but also species new to Russia [Pilipenko, 2011] and new to science [Jakovlev, Polevoi, 2009; Jaschhof, Jaschhof, 2009; Polevoi, Jakovlev, 2011; Polevoi, 2013]. Among the others, two remarkable species of crane flies (family Limoniidae) have also been recognized. Both were lately discovered in Finland, but recorded for the first time from European part of Russia. Materials are stored in
Forest Research Institute, Petrozavodsk (FRIP) and private collection of Jukka Salmela (JES). Location coordinates are given according to WGS84 coordinate reference system (EPSG:4326).
Gnophomyia acheron Alexander 1950 Material. Russia, Karelia: 7^, Kon: Kivach Nature Reserve (62,25°N 33,96°E), 7-8.VI.2011, A. Polevoi leg. (FRIP).
Remarks. This species was described and, until recently, known from the East Palaearctic [Savchenko, 1989; Pilipenko, Sidorenko, 2006; Krivosheina, 2008; Pilipenko, 2009]. First European record originates from Finland [StarQ Salmela, 2004]. Finnish records were discussed in more details by E. Hancock [2008], who also

provided genitalia figures and a key to European species of the genus Gnophomyia. Larval morphology was studied by M. Krivosheina [2008]. In Fennoscandian scale G. acheron is considered to be an eastern taiga species [Salmela, 2012] and that is also supported by the new findings.
Limonia badia (Walker 1848)
= Limonia indigenoides (Alexander 1920)
Material. Russia, Karelia: 5 33, 1 $, Kon: Tipinitsy (62,17°N 35,35°E), 27.VIII.2013, A.Polevoi leg. (FRIP). 1 3, Kpoc: Kostomuksha (64,59°N 30,31 °E), 21-27.IX.2005 (ex larva, on aspen trunk, reared in a laboratory), G. Varkonyi leg. (JES). 1 3, Kpoc: Kostomuksha (64,57°N 30,27°E), 28.VIII.2006 (an adult, under bark of aspen trunk), G. Varkonyi leg. (JES).
Remarks. This poorly known species was described from North America. First European record (from Finland) was published by J. StarD and J. Salmela [2004], along with species redescription and male genitalia figures. Earlier Karelian record (from Kostomuksha) is mentioned in the Catalogue of Crane Flies of the World [Oosterbroek, 2013] but was not officially published.
Discussion
According to M. Krivosheina [2008], larvae of G. acheron develop in the phloem of dying trunks of different deciduous trees (Populus, Maackia, Phellodendron, Juglans). In Finland they were found under the bark of aspen [Hancock, 2008]. Finnish specimens of L. badia were initially collected with window traps, set on dead aspens and it was suggested that larvae may live in decaying aspen wood [StarQ Salmela, 2004]. Later this species was registered in emergence traps put on decaying aspen logs [Halme et al., 2013]. Karelian specimens of G. acheron and L. badia were collected in comparatively old (over 100 years old) herb-rich spruce forests with high ratio of aspen. Available data show that both species are obligate xylobionts, and probably specialists of old-growth forests. In Finland G. acheron estimated as "Vulnerable" and L. badia - as "Near Threatened” [Rassi et al., 2010]. Both species are evidently rather rare in Russian Karelia as well, however their threat status has not been estimated yet.
This study was supported by the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Program “Living Nature: Modern State and Development Problems" and RFBR grant 13-04-98821. Gergely Varkonyi (Kuhmo, Finland) provided samples from Kostomuksha.
