The Diptera names listed by Theodorus van Swinderen in his list of animals and minerals in the Groningen Natural History Museum are itemized and annotated. Most of the names listed, including those newly proposed, are synonymous
with previously published names. One (Sarcophaga Swinderen, 1822) is a senior synonym of the well-known Sarcophaga
Meigen, 1824. It has been dealt with in a previous paper, and Sarcophaga Swinderen, 1822 is now declared a nomen
oblitum. The following new synonymies are proposed herein: Acolasta Swinderen, 1822 = Sepedon Latreille, 1804, n.
syn. [Sciomyzidae]; Cleona Swinderen, 1822 = Callomyia Meigen, 1804, n. syn. [Platypezidae]; Cleona acuminata
Swinderen, 1822 = Callomyia elegans Meigen, 1804, n. syn. [Platypezidae]; Driope Swinderen, 1822 = Dorycera Meigen,
1830, n. syn. [Ulidiidae]; Macrostoma Swinderen, 1822 = Volucella Geoffroy, 1762, n. syn. [Syrphidae]; Marsupium
Swinderen, 1822 = Sphegina Meigen, 1822, n. syn. [Syrphidae]; Nycteria Swinderen, 1822 = Pipiza Fall\én, 1810, n.
syn. [Syrphidae]; Pacystoma Swinderen, 1822 = Medetera Fischer von Waldheim, 1819, n. syn. [Dolichopodidae];
Penthesilia Swinderen, 1822 = Merodon Meigen, 1803, n. syn. [Syrphidae]; Tromera Swinderen, 1822 = Madiza Fall\én,
1810, n. syn. [Milichiidae]. Titania Swinderen, 1822 (preoccupied by Titania Meigen, 1800) and its type species Titania
albipennis Swinderen, 1822 are available names, but are considered here as nomina dubia and unplaced within Diptera.
Thericas Swinderen, 1822 is considered unavailable as it is not accompanied by a description or a definition and is based
on an unavailable name. Dorycera Meigen, 1830 is declared a nomen protectum and Driope Swinderen, 1822 is declared
a nomen oblitum; Medetera muralis Meigen, 1824 is declared a nomen protectum and Pacystoma muralis Swinderen,
1822 a nomen oblitum.

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.

The dipteran fauna of the marais de Lavours was studied over a period of four years. A variety of trapping methods was used in areas representing the major habitat-types. Over 1300 species of fly are documented as occurring in the reserve. Remarks on selected species are given.
