Abstract

The known distributions in Norway and Sweden for all Scandinavian species of Leiomyza Macquart, 1935 are updated. The first national records are reported for Leiomyza scatophagina (Fallén, 1823) from Norway (Innlandet and Møre og Romsdal) and for Leiomyza birkheadi Gibbs, 2007 from Sweden (Öland and Östergötland). After revision of museum specimens, L. laevigata (Meigen, 1830) is now known only from Skåne in Sweden.
