The distribution of Finnish Heteroptera (475 species) in biogeographical provinces is mapped, and their phenological pattern is presented, together with notes on the biology of some of the species. The most important faunistic literature on Finnish Heteroptera is listed.
Entomologica Fennica. Vol. 3:111. 31.VIII.1992
We have recently published maps of the provincial distribution of Finnish Heteroptera (Lammes & Rinne 1990). Careful reading of the maps has revealed some missplaced dots, which are corrected in this article. Numerous new provincial records are also listed.Most of the specimens are deposited in our personal collections or in Zoological Museum of Turku University. New recordsCollectors: TL = T. Lammes, VR = V. Rinne.
The list comprises 2•13 hepatic and 591 moss species, and numerous infraspecific taxa. Commonly used synonyms are included. There are 300 annotations, grving references to 1the Liter-ature on the taxo nomy, nomenclature and distribution df the taxa. Many cont ribu'tions are made to the nomenclature, and two new combinations of hepatic names are published : Barbilophozia quadriloba (Lindb.) Loeske var. (cf. T uoMIKOSKI 1940b(cf. T uoMIKOSKI , 1952, and the distribution of Finnish mosses is also given in NYHOLM's (1954NYHOLM's ( -1969 flora. As to hepatics, the knowledge accumulated after BoMANSSON & BRoTHERus (1894) was summarized in BucH's (1936) flora, and the latest treatment of the Fennoscandian hepatics is that by ARNELL (1956) , VrTT 1974, IRELAND & CAIN 1975.No up-to-date world index exists for hepatics, but mention should be made of GROLLE's numerous nomenclatural studies, including those first presented in the checklists of D unA & VANA ( ) and D uLL (1972, and in particular his fundamental list of the European hepatics (GROLLE 1976). Other recent checklists of hepatics are those by ScHOFIELD (1968), DAMSHOLT et al. (1969), MrzuTANI & HATTORI (1969), WoRLEY (1970), and ScHLJAKov (1973a.) The present paper is an attempt to meet the long-felt need for a standard work on the nomenclature of the bryophytes of Finland.In our nomenclatural decisions, we have followed the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (STAFLEU et al. 1972, including the alterations to the Code accepted at the Leningrad Congress in 1975, cf., e.g., Voss 1976). Accordingly, the nomenclature recommended here often deviates widely from the traditional treatments. This concerns the hepatics in particular, since, before the studies of GROLLE, the nomenclature of European hepatics was often quite inconsistent with the Code. Even now, the taxonomy and nomenclature of hepatics still present many problems (see, e.g., GROLLE 1976), but, thanks to GROLLE's revisions, the number of nomenclatural changes found necessary in future may be expected to be fewer in hepatics than in mosses. Much work is still required on, for instance, the typification of the specific names of moss genera and the generic taxonomy of certain groups (e.g. Amblystegiaceae). When carried out, such studies will inevitably lead to numerous nomenclatural alterations.The Finnish bryophyte flora has often been considered well known, but, as can 4 Timo Koponen, Pekka Iso viita and Tapio Lammes: The Bryophytes of Fill!land be seen in the published distribution maps and the papers of IsovnTA & KoPONEN (1967a, very large gaps still exist in our bryo-floristic knowledge. The great number of new species recently recorded from Finland is further evidence of this fact, and indicates that many new species may still be expected. Here, it should also be noted that the Finnish material of many genera and species groups, in both mosses and hepatics, is in need of thorough investigation; cases in point are Cephaloziella, Lophozia, Eurhynchium and Drepanocladus.The checklist co...
