| - A synopsis of Italian and Corsican Blephariceridae is provided. Approximately 9000 specimens have been studied, most from the Apennines and Sicily; 18 spp. of all 5 European genera are known from this region, their distribution is shown on maps. Several faunal elements are distinguished. Of the 5 Alpine species, 3 are recent immigrants to the northern Apennines. Liponeura cinerascens is widespread in Europe and seems to be long established in Corsica and in the Apennines. In Central and South Italy and Sicily, there are 5 endemic species: 1 of the widespread L. cinerascens-group, the other of the L. decipiens-group, with relatives in Corsica, Sardinia, North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula. Except for L. cinerascens, all species in Corsica and Sardinia are endemic and most are Tyrrhenian elements. Additional species of Dioptopsis and of Apistomyia occur only in the eastern Mediterranean Region. Notes on life cycles and on habitat preferences are included. A stenothermous montane and an eurythermous foothill association of Blephariceridae are distinguished, each with a northern (allochthonous) and a southern (largely endemic) variant, which includes Corsica and Sardinia. The taxonomic checklist contains literature references and/or new faunistic data and descriptive and nomenclatorial notes. New species described are L. discophora, L. paradecipiens and L. limomi. L. bezzii is distinct from L. bischoffi and both are redescribed. Lectotypes are designated for L. decipiens, L. edwardsi and L. insularis, L. insularis is a junior objective synonym of L. edwardsi. Key to genera (adults, larval instars 1-3) and to species (pupae, last instar larvae) are provided. Distinctive characters of most species are illustrated. [Other species discussed are Hapalothrix lugubris, L. minor, Blepharicera fasciata fasciata, B. f. gynops, L. cordata, L. italia, Dioptopsis vernus and D. sardous].
