Abstract

During the period 2001–2005, 769 species have been added to the list of Finnish insects, and 213 species have been deleted from it. At the end of year 2005, a total of 20,533 insect species were known from Finland. The Finnish insect fauna is generally well known. Still, particularly for Diptera Nematocera and Hymenoptera Parasitica, and to some degree also in part of Hemiptera, there still remains much to be done.
