Four Dineura species are now considered to occur in the West Palaearctic, including northern Europe, but D. parcivalvis has not been found in Scandinavia. Dineura pullior Schmidt Walter, 1995 is treated as a new junior subjective synonym of D. virididorsata (Retzius, 1783). An illustrated key to adults is presented. Lectotypes are designated for seven nominal taxa: Dineura stilata var. virilis Enslin, 1918, Dineura testaceipes var. nigriventris Enslin, 1915, Dineura virididorsata var. dorsalis Enslin, 1915, Nematus posticus Förster, 1854, Nematus xanthocerus Hartig, 1840, Nematus xanthopus Zaddach, 1876, and Tenthredo (Allantus) stilata Klug, 1816. Distributions in the Fennoscandian countries are outlined, with particular reference to Sweden.

- Kotov (2016) identified that many daphniids and chydorids were lumped into a mixed group rather than being accurately classified, highlighting a gap in understanding their relationships.
- The study suggests using better-studied ilyocryptids as a model for classification, revealing ten species that fit into three distinct faunistic complexes and supporting the idea of a transitional zone between Palaearctic and Oriental biogeographical regions.
The genus Andrena is the second largest genus of bees, and is undergoing a period of concentrated study that has resulted in the description or recognition of almost 200 additional species during the last decade. This process is far from complete, and substantial revisions are required even in well-studied regions; this present work contributes to this ongoing process. The following new synonymies are reported (senior name first): Andrena (Chrysandrena) fulvago (Christ, 1791) = A.
