“…Many such assignments were made in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when attitudes and protocols were much less rigorous than they are today. Unfortunately, descriptions of new species with similarly suspect generic assignments continue to be published for both extinct and extant specimens (e.g., Hong, 2002;Park and Carlton, 2014). Poor preservation and/or the absence of the morphological detail required for rigorous generic identification forms the basis of most invalid assignments.…”

The Coal Creek Member of the Kishenehn Formation in northwestern Montana, USA, is an emerging middle Eocene Lagerstätte. While fish, plant, mammal and molluscan fossils are present, the most numerous and well-preserved fossils are those of insects. In this study, we initiate an effort to enumerate, at the family level, the diversity of flies (Insecta: Diptera) at this locality. Seventeen specimens from 17 different families (15 families with Limoniinae and Cylindrotominae within Tipulidae s.l.), 15 new species and three new genera are described. These include Tipula fji sp. nov. (Tipulidae), Ellipteroides kishenehn sp. nov. (Limoniidae), Cyttaromyia lynnae sp. nov. (Cylindrotomidae), Sylvicola silibrarius sp. nov. (Anisopodidae), Efcookella nigra sp. nov. (first fossil known in the genus) (Scatopsidae), Bibiodes kishenehnensis sp. nov. (Bibionidae), Eosciarites hermes gen. et sp. nov. (Sciaridae), Rymosia hypnolithica sp. nov. (Mycetophilidae), Litoleptis araeostylus sp. nov. (Rhagionidae), Kishenehnoasilus bhl gen. et sp. nov. (Asilidae), Drapetis adelomedos sp. nov. (Hybotidae), Salishomyia eocenica gen. et sp. nov. (Dolichopodidae), Agathomyia eocenica sp. nov. (first known fossil in genus) (Platypezidae), Lonchoptera eocenica sp. nov. (Lonchopteridae) and Aenigmatias kishenehnensis sp. nov. (Phoridae). Two specimens in the families Psychodidae and Pipunculidae are described but not assigned to a genus. In addition, we revise several related fossil species housed at the NMNH. Asilopsis fusculus Cockerell, 1921, formerly described in Asilidae, is transferred to Cyttaromyia (Cylindrotomidae) as C. fuscula, Sciara florissantensis Cockerell, 1917 is assigned to Sciaroidea incertae sedis, and Sciara gurnetensis Cockerell, 1916, Sciara lacoei Cockerell, 1915 and Sciara protoberidis Cockerell, 1915, are assigned to Sciaridae incertae sedis. Given their diversity and high degree of preservation, continued characterization of the Coal Creek Member fossils may help elucidate the Eocene radiation of Diptera in North America.

“…Male specimens have a setose depression located at the middle of abdominal ventrite VIII as a secondary sexual character, but this is not easily observed on some specimens. Abdominal ventrite IX is important for recognizing the sex of specimens: in males ventrite IX is usually fragile and partially concealed by ventrite VIII; in females it is more robust, triangular and bears a pair of long setae (Park and Carlton 2014).…”

The Australian genus Logasa Chandler, 2001 (type species: L. novaeanglia Chandler) is comprised of six species, three of which are described as new: Logasa newtonisp. nov., Logasa thayeraesp. nov., and Logasa comfortisp. nov. Examination of the types of L. tricolor (Oke) and L. ventralis (Oke) revealed that they do not share some of the diagnostic characters used here to characterize the type, and other species of the genus, but they are retained in Logasa until the group is revised. A key to species, illustrations of their habitus, and diagnostic characters are provided.

“…The former genus includes 131 New Zealand species, and is considered to be a paraphyletic assemblage of species (Chandler 2001). A revision of the New Zealand fauna has been completed by Park and Carlton (2014a–b, 2015a–e). …”

“…These species are characterized by extremely large eyes, a deep and anteriorly open frontal sulcus, abdominal tergite IV is 1.5 times longer than V, and they also have a different thoracic foveal system from those of the other Australian groups. Foveal patterns have been used extensively for characterizing genera of Pselaphinae (Grigarick and Schuster 1980; Chandler 2001; Park and Carlton 2014a–b, 2015a–e). …”

A new genus and three new species of the southwestern Australian pselaphine beetles belonging to the supertribe Faronitae are described: Nornalup Park & Chandler, gen. n., based on Nornalup afoveatus Park & Chandler, sp. n., Nornalup quadratus Park & Chandler, sp. n., and Nornalup minusculus Park & Chandler, sp. n. Illustrations of their habitus and major diagnostic characters are provided, as well as distribution maps and a key to species.
