Three new species of the genus Neophyllomyza, N. clavipalpis sp. nov., N. motuoensis sp. nov., and N. obtusa sp. nov., are described from China. A revised key to the six Chinese species of Neophyllomyza is also presented.

Two kinds of results (faunistics and biodiversity), obtained after the study of 7701 specimens belonging to 51 dipterous
families, are presented. The study was carried out in Navarra (Spain) in two kinds of forests (beech and mixed) with material collected by means of Malaise traps.
From the faunistic point of view, we highlight the following first records: a) 1 species new to Europe (Minettia quadrisetosa
(Becker), Lauxaniidae), b) 2 genera new to the Iberian Peninsula (Cerotelion Rondani, Keroplatidae and Pachycerina Macquart, Lauxaniidae), c) 1 genus new to Spain (Paraplatypeza Kessel \& Maggioncalda, Platypezidae), d) 23 species new to the Iberian Peninsula, e) 6 species new to Spain, and f) 1 species new to mainland Spain.
From the biodiversity point of view, the most abundant families were the Lauxaniidae (36.46 \%) and Heleomyzidae (23,32 \%). Comparing the two forests, the Lauxaniidae (47.36 \%) were the most abundant in the beech forest, whereas in the mixed forest the Heleomyzidae (29.91 \%) were dominant. Finally, as regards to the species, of the 214 species identified, 154 (71.96 \%) were collected in the beech forest and 182 (85.04 \%) in the mixed forest. The two most abundant were Sapromyza basalis Zetterstedt (15.68 \%) and Homoneura mediospinosa Merz (12.47 \%), both in the family Lauxaniidae.

The Japanese Milichiidae are taxonomically revised with four newly recorded genera (Milichia, Madiza, Neophyllomyza, and Leptometopa). Two new species of Milichia and Neophyllomyza are described: Milichia yafusoae sp. nov. was discovered on guano of the Southeast Asian long-fingered bat (Mineopterus fuscus Bonhote) in a limestone cave of Okinawa Island, Ryukyu Archipelago; Neophyllomyza nishidai sp. nov. was collected from flowers of Aristolochia debilis Siebold et Zucc. (Aristolochiacea) which have trap-and-release mechanisms for using flies as pollinators in Honshu. Two species, Leptometopa latipes (Meigen) and Madiza glabra (Fall\én), are recorded from Japan for the first time. Bionomic remarks for each species and a key to the genera and species of the Japanese Milichiidae are also provided.
