The empidoid flies of the Russian Arctic islands and Svalbard Archipelago are revised including families Empididae (4 genera, 32 species), Hybotidae (2 genera, 3 species) and Brachystomatidae (1 genus, 2 species). The following ten new species are described: Empididae-Empis septentrionalis Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov. (Russia: Wrangel Island); Rhamphomyia (Dasyrhamphomyia) gorodkovi Shamshev, Sinclair Saigusa sp. nov. (Russia: Chukotka mainland, Wrangel Island, Taymyr, Yakutia; USA: Alaska); R. (D.) mallochi Shamshev, Sinclair Saigusa sp. nov. (Canada: Yukon; Russia: Chukotka mainland, Kolyuchin and Wrangel Islands; USA: Alaska); R. (Pararhamphomyia) subfilicauda Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov. (Russia: Wrangel Island); R. (P.) submacrura Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov. (Russia: Wrangel Island); R. (P.) subtenuiterfilata Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov. (Russia: Wrangel Island, Yakutia); R. (P.) wrangeli Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov. (Russia: Wrangel Island); R. sublongiseta Shamshev, Sinclair Saigusa sp. nov. (Canada: Yukon; Russia: Wrangel Island); one species of Rhamphomyia was retained as unnamed due to insufficient material; Hybotidae-Platypalpus septentrionalis Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov. (Russia: Wrangel Island), P. subtectifrons Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov. (Canada: Northwest Territories, Yukon; Russia: Wrangel Island; USA: Alaska). For previously described species a short diagnosis and a habitus photo are provided to enable easier recognition. In addition, a key to the species of Rhamphomyia (Empididae) occurring on the Russia Arctic islands and Svalbard Archipelago is compiled. A lectotype is designated for Rhamphomyia armipes Sack, 1923. The male and the female of R. taimyrensis Frey and R. kaninensis Frey are described for the first time, respectively. Tachypeza sericeipalpis Frey is newly recorded from North America (Canada: Northwest Territories, Nunavut) and first illustration of the male terminalia is provided. Trichoclinocera lapponica (Ringdahl) is recorded for the first time from the territory of Russia.
对俄罗斯北极岛屿和斯瓦尔巴群岛的长足虻科蝇类进行了修订，包括长足虻科（4属，32种）、舞虻科（2属，3种）和短角虻科（1属，2种）。描述了以下10个新物种：长足虻科-北方长足虻Empis septentrionalis Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov.（俄罗斯：弗兰格尔岛）；剑毛舞虻属（粗剑毛舞虻亚属）戈罗德科夫剑毛舞虻Rhamphomyia (Dasyrhamphomyia) gorodkovi Shamshev, Sinclair Saigusa sp. nov.（俄罗斯：楚科奇大陆、弗兰格尔岛、泰梅尔半岛、雅库特；美国：阿拉斯加）；马氏剑毛舞虻R. (D.) mallochi Shamshev, Sinclair Saigusa sp. nov.（加拿大：育空地区；俄罗斯：楚科奇大陆、科柳钦岛和弗兰格尔岛；美国：阿拉斯加）；细尾剑毛舞虻R. (Pararhamphomyia) subfilicauda Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov.（俄罗斯：弗兰格尔岛）；短跗剑毛舞虻R. (P.) submacrura Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov.（俄罗斯：弗兰格尔岛）；细弱剑毛舞虻R. (P.) subtenuiterfilata Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov.（俄罗斯：弗兰格尔岛、雅库特）；弗兰格尔剑毛舞虻R. (P.) wrangeli Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov.（俄罗斯：弗兰格尔岛）；长鬃剑毛舞虻R. sublongiseta Shamshev, Sinclair Saigusa sp. nov.（加拿大：育空地区；俄罗斯：弗兰格尔岛）；一种剑毛舞虻因材料不足仍未命名；舞虻科-北方扁足舞虻Platypalpus septentrionalis Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov.（俄罗斯：弗兰格尔岛），亚遮额扁足舞虻P. subtectifrons Shamshev Sinclair sp. nov.（加拿大：西北地区、育空地区；俄罗斯：弗兰格尔岛；美国：阿拉斯加）。对于先前描述的物种，提供了简短的诊断和整体照以便于识别。此外，编制了俄罗斯北极岛屿和斯瓦尔巴群岛上剑毛舞虻属（长足虻科）物种的检索表。指定了1923年萨克描述的武装剑毛舞虻Rhamphomyia armipes的选模。首次分别描述了泰梅尔剑毛舞虻R. taimyrensis Frey的雄性和卡宁剑毛舞虻R. kaninensis Frey的雌性。北美（加拿大：西北地区、努纳武特地区）新记录了丝须速足虻Tachypeza sericeipalpis Frey，并首次提供了雄性外生殖器图。首次在俄罗斯境内记录了拉普兰三斜角虻Trichoclinocera lapponica (Ringdahl)。
