Comparing the private collection of the first author with that of the University of Gdansk led to the discovery of three new species of biting midges of the subfamily Forcipomyiinae for the Netherlands: Atrichopogon infuscus, Atrichopogon meloesugans and Forcipomyia crassipes. In addition some nomenclatural corrections to the Dutch checklist are proposed, which brings the total number of Forcipomyiinae in the Netherlands to 36. The distribution and biology of the new species are briefly discussed.
