The status of Lonchaeidae in Norway is reviewed and a Norwegian checklist is provided for the first time listing 40 species in six genera. Whenever possible the records for each species provide details of region code, municipality, locality (grid code after the EIS-system, decimal degrees) number of individuals, sex, date, collecting method, collector and depository. Information is also provided on wider European distribution, and where known, larval habitat. A new species within the genus Lonchaea Fallén, 1820 namely Lonchaea norvegica sp. n. is described and its relationship with related species is discussed. The Norwegian fauna is compared to that of other adjacent European countries. Keywords: Diptera, Lonchaeidae, Lonchaea norvegica, new species, checklist, Norway.
