“…The Canadian Agromyzidae were revised by Spencer (1969), but since that time generic concepts have been extensively reconsidered, especially in Winkler et al (2009) and Lonsdale (2014), and several genera have been revised: Amauromyza Hendel (Boucher 2012b); Cerodontha Rondani (Boucher 2002, 2003, 2008, 2012a); Liriomyza Mik (Lonsdale 2017a); Pseudonapomyza Hendel (Boucher 2004). Many north temperate species of Phytomyza (sometimes as “ Chromatomyia Hardy”) were treated in a long series of papers by GCD Griffiths.…”

The Canadian Diptera fauna is updated. Numbers of species currently known from Canada, total Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), and estimated numbers of undescribed or unrecorded species are provided for each family. An overview of recent changes in the systematics and Canadian faunistics of major groups is provided as well as some general information on biology and life history. A total of 116 families and 9620 described species of Canadian Diptera are reported, representing more than a 36% increase in species numbers since the last comparable assessment by JF McAlpine et al. (1979). Almost 30,000 BINs have so far been obtained from flies in Canada. Estimates of additional number of species remaining to be documented in the country range from 5200 to 20,400.

Churchill, Manitoba, Canada is a diverse Subarctic region that has been the focus of DNA barcoding efforts and research for decades. Despite this effort, there are still taxa in this region that are underrepresented in public databases, particularly hyperdiverse insect groups. We present a collaborative large-scale DNA barcode reference library for Diptera based on molecular data and expert taxonomic identification. The reference library contains 16786 specimens sampled around Churchill from 2005 to 2011. Specimens were identified by morphological means, sequenced for the animal barcode marker, and sorted into 2235 Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units (using Barcode Index Numbers: BINs) representing 68 families and 1212 species. Eighty-six species shared a BIN with another species, 98 species were split across several BINs, and 1027 species were assigned to a unique BIN. The intraspecific and nearest neighbour distances varied across families, but most species can be easily distinguished from their nearest neighbours. By combining molecular data with taxonomic expertise, the barcode library provides species-level information for 12612 specimens, supplying future researchers with detailed taxonomic information and the opportunity to perform barcode-based specimen identifications for large-scale studies through sequence matching. Comparison of the Diptera composition of Churchill to other geographic regions reflected likely postglacial colonization northwards as well as a Beringian component. This study provides a publicly available, detailed reference library for use in future research, as well as new insight into the current diversity of Diptera present among the diverse habitats in this Subarctic region.
