Each subgenus is briefly characterized, with data on phylogeny, distribution, biology, and number of species. The species are fully described and show more differential characters are illustrated, including the male genitalia. Data are provided for occurrence and distribution, and epigamic and swarming behaviour are reviewed.The Empididae (Diptera) of Fennoscandia and Denmark will serve not only dipterists, but also taxonomists and museologists.
