I have already found National Biodiversity Recording Systems in these countries: - Denmark - Romania - Sweden - The Netherlands Now it seems that New Zealand has adapted the swedish recording system Artportalen for the New Zealand Biodiversity Recording Network (NZBRN). |

Great Britain (= England, Scotland and Wales) has the National Biodiversity Network. See www.nbn.org.uk There have been recording schemes for particular families or orders running for several decades, covering Great Britain and Ireland, run by volunteer scheme organisers (Tony Irwin was one for a while) under the umbrella of the Biological Records Centre at Monks Wood. I think it has recently moved to a new geographical site but its web site is still www.brc.ac.uk Many of the recording schemes have their own web sites. The recording schemes for flies also come under the umbrella of the Dipterists Forum: www.dipteristsforum.org.uk John Bratton |

A little update regarding Diptera in Artportalen. Until recently it's only been possible to register Syrphidae, but now ArtDatabanken has added these families (number of species): - Asilidae (57) - Bombyliidae (28) - Chironomidae (869) - Conopidae (28) - Mythicomyiidae (1) - Stratiomyidae (50) - Syrphidae (409) - Tachinidae (422) - Therevidae (26) - Xylomyidae (3) - Xylophagidae (5) If you have finds from Sweden, please register and upload your records, including any photos!

Finland has two which may be of interest for you: 1. Hatikka Hatikka is official open-to-everyone database of species records run by the National Natural History Museum. It is geared towards serving the general public. AFAIK it is available only in Finnish. There are no noteworthy Diptera records in Hatikka ("a mosquito" is not noteworthy). 2. the Finnish Entomological Database Originally developed as a hobbyist project, the FED has been adopted by the Zoological museum. Unlike Hatikka, it targets only amateur and professional entomologists. It uses only scientific names and the user interface is less user-friendly, but more powerful. The Finnish Diptera working group has decided to use this DB as their primary data entry system. The master list of Diptera names (maintained by yours truly) is currently limited to Diptera Brachycera. This should be the first stop for anyone interested in faunistics of Finnish flies.

Artsobservasjoner (Norway) uses the same system as Sweden and New Zealand. |

In Austria I only know www.zobodat.at (Zoologisch-botanische Datenbank) and www.biodiv.at/gbif (GBIF Austria). Not many diptera included.

Now there is also a Catalogus function for flies (all Coleoptera covered) in Artportalen, but so far only for Bombyliidae. Maybe not so easy to understand while it is in swedish. The columns represent swedish provinces. You can click on a species name to see the distribution on the map. They are also going to implement a function to show the distribution for some predifined timeperiods. |
