Friman, M. 2023: Nephrotoma quadrifaria (Meigen, 1804) (Diptera, Tipulidae) Suomessa [Nephrotoma quadrifaria (Meigen, 1804) (Diptera, Tipulidae) in Finland]. — Sahlbergia 29(1): 2–4. Helsinki, Finland, ISSN 2342-7582.

Suomesta löytyi vuonna 2019 maalle uusi vaaksiaislaji, etelämpänä Euroopassa laajalle levinnyt Nephrotoma quadrifaria (Meigen, 1804) (Diptera, Tipulidae). Vuosina 2020 ja 2021 saatiin myös viitteitä lajin lisääntymisestä Suomessa. Tekstissä käsitellään kolmen vuoden aikana lajista Etelä-Suomessa tehtyjä havaintoja. Niittykirsikkäistä eli Nephrotoma-suvusta tunnetaan Suomesta vanhastaan 15 muuta lajia.

Observations of Nephrotoma quadrifaria (Meigen, 1804) (Diptera, Tipulidae) from Southern Finland are reviewed. This species of crane fly was first recorded in Finland in 2019. In 2020 and 2021, the species was observed at three localities, all of which are in the city of Vantaa (Uusimaa region), as was the 2019 locality. Observations indicate that the species is reproducing in Finland. N. quadrifaria is the 16th Nephrotoma species known from Finland.


Vikberg, V. & Vuorinen, A. 2023: Rearing of seven eulophids from microlepidoptera larvae in South Finland (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Eulophidae). — Sahlbergia 29(1): 5–7. Helsinki, Finland, ISSN 2342-7582.

Seven species of Eulophidae were reared in South Häme, South Finland from larvae of their microlepidopteran host species. Two species, Pnigalio epilobii Boucek, 1966 and Sympiesis laevifrons Kamijo, 1965, are new to the fauna of Finland and the latter is also new to Europe.


Friman, M. 2023: Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi, 1794) (Diptera, Tephritidae) Suomessa [Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi, 1794) (Diptera, Tephritidae) in Finland]. — Sahlbergia 29(1): 8–9. Helsinki, Finland, ISSN 2342-7582.

Kesällä 2021 Vantaalta löytyi Suomesta aiemmin tuntematon hedelmäkärpäsiin (Diptera, Tephritidae) kuuluva laji Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi, 1794). Lajista tunnetaan toistaiseksi vain yksi havainto Suomesta. Acanthiophilus helianthi on sukunsa ainoa edustaja Manner-Euroopassa.

Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi, 1794) (Diptera, Tephritidae) is reported for the first time from Finland. One male was collected at a sunny slope meadow in the city of Vantaa (Uusimaa region) on 27th July 2021. To date, this is the only Finnish observation of the species. The larval food plant Centaurea was abundant at the locality. Acanthiophilus helianthi is the only species of the genus on the European continent.


Kotiranta, S. 2023: Meconema thalassinum (DeGeer, 1773) (Orthoptera: Tettigonioidea) found from Finland. — Sahlbergia 29(1): 10–11. Helsinki, Finland, ISSN 2342-7582.

We present the first observation of a living Oak Bush Cricket Meconema thalassinum (DeGeer, 1773) in Finland: In the late evening of Aug 17, 2023 a single specimen was found in the light of an outdoor lamp attached to a building’s wall in Marienhamn, Åland Islands. The natural environment of the discovery site corresponds well to the known European habitat preferences of this unobtrusive species.

Tässä artikkelissa esitetään ensimmäinen havainto elävänä löydetystä tammihepokatista Meconema thalassinum (DeGeer, 1773) Suomesta. Yksilö löytyi myöhään illalla A: Maarianhamina 17. elokuuta 2023 hakeutuneena rakennuksen ulkovalolle. Löytöpaikan ympäristö vastaa hyvin tämän piilottelevan lajin luontaista elinympäristöä etelämpänä Euroopassa.
