TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

W. Zetterstedt collection at the Museum of Zoology in Lund, Sweden JOSTEIN KJÆRANDSEN Museum of Zoology, Lund University, Helgonavägen 3, S-223 62 Lund, Sweden. ([email protected]) Table of contents Abstract . 1 Introduction . 2 Material and methods . 4 Result . 6 List of species . 12 Acknowledgements . 33 References . 33 Abstract The collections of fungus gnats by Johan Wilhelm Zetterstedt (1785–1874), lodged in the Museum of Zoology in Lund, Sweden, are examined for all species belonging in the tribe Exechiini Edwards. The majority of the material was collected in Fennoscandia, mainly in Sweden, in the first half of the 19th century. Altogether 37 species of the tribe Exechiini could be safely identified. Three additional species are strongly indicated to be present in the collections, but could not be identified with certainty, viz. Allodia (Brachycampta) alternans (Zetterstedt, 1838), Cordyla murina Winnertz, 1863 and Stigmatomeria crassicornis (Stannius, 1831). Some of Zetterstedt's types have been erroneously synonymized and misinterpreted in modern literature. Hence, illustra- tions of terminalia are presented for all recognizable Exechiini types described by Zetterstedt. In order to preserve nomenclatural stability a lectotype is selected for Brevicornu griseolum (Zetter- stedt, 1852) sensu auctore nec Edwards, and a neotype is selected for Allodia (Brachycampta) alternans (Zetterstedt, 1838). Two species names are reinstated, viz. Brevicornu canescens (Zetter- stedt, 1852) sp.

RELATIONSHIPS OF CERTAIN GENERA OF FUNGUS GNATS OF THE FAMILY MYCETOPHILIDAE By F. R. SHAW and M. M. SHAW i Amherst, Mass. The present study represents a continuation of a preliminary in- vestigation of the possible value of thoracic sclerites in determining the relationships of certain insects. Dr. G. C. Crampton was the first to demonstrate the use of these sclerites as a means of determin- ing the systematic position of insects. In 1925, he published a clas- sical study of the comparative morphology of the thorax of nontipu- loid Nematocera. In 1948 Shaw presented a paper in which he indi- cated the value of thoracic sclerites as an aid in determining the phy- logeny of the Mycetophilidae. Although the number of genera he studied was admittedly small, principles were developed that have been of value in distinguishing the phylogenetic relationships of cer- tain genera. Edwards (1925) was the first to indicate that the structure of thoracic sclerites might be of value in determining generic characters in this group. In his monograph of the British fungus gnats he noted that in certain genera the sclerites differed in form and that such dif- ferences might be of value in separating groups of these insects. 1 We wish to express our thanks to the Society of Sigma Xi for a grant-in- aid that made possible the preparation of the illustrations for this paper.

O. 2009. New records of fungus gnats for Norway (Diptera: Mycetophilidae). Norw. J. Entomol. 56, 69–73. Fifteen species of Mycetophilidae are reported new to Norway, and their distribution and biology are commented on. Among the new species, Neuratelia subulata Zaitzev, 1994 has previously not been recorded from the Nordic region. The total number of species of Mycetophilidae in Norway is thus increased to 589.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Introduction Our knowledge about Norwegian Mycetophilidae is rapidly increasing (see Søli & Kjærandsen 2008). Fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae form Since the compilation of the first Norwegian check an extremely common and species rich group of list which comprised 473 species (Gammelmo Diptera in northern temperate regions, and our & Søli 2006), as many as 101 more species knowledge about their taxonomy has increased have already been added (Kjærandsen & Jordal considerably during the last two decades (for a 2007, Søli & Kjærandsen 2008). By the present review, see Kjærandsen et al. 2007). Members contribution, our fauna comprises 589 species. of the family expose a rather diverse biology, but Though, compared to the number of species in our know, the majority of species are associated with neighbouring countries, one may assert that a high fungi in one or another way.
