Altogether one species of Bolitophilidae, 16 species of Keroplatidae and 105 species of Mycetophilidae are recognised as occurring in Sardinia. As the bolitophilid and two of the mycetophilid species are represented only by females and are not determined to species level, the total confirmed Sardinian list stands at 119 species. Four species of Keroplatidae and 19 species of Mycetophilidae are new to the total Italian fauna, whereas three species of Keroplatidae and 32 species of Mycetophilidae are newly recorded for the island of Sardinia. Six species are described as new to science: two Keroplatidae (Urytalpa juliae sp. nov., Macrocera nuragica sp. nov.) and four Mycetophilidae (Boletina ichnusa sp. nov., Trichonta sandalyon sp.

Fungus gnats from Jostedalen, West Norway (Diptera: Diadocidi- idae and Mycetophilidae). Fauna norv. Ser. B 41: 1-12. During a study of terrestrial invertebrates in Jostedalen in 1988, more than 3.000 specimens of fungus gnats were caught. 214 species were recognized, belonging to the families Diadocidiidae and Mycetophilidae. The number of species in Jostedalen is exceptionally high when compared to number of species recorded from other local areas in Europe. The genus Drepanocercus (Vockeroth, 1980) is recorded for the first time from the Palaearctic region. Other rare species are Mycomya simulans Vaisanen, 1984, Acnemia falcata Zaitzev, 1982, Zygom.via pseudohumeralis Caspers, 1980, Anatella aquila Zaitsev, 1989. A. fungina Plassmann, 1984, Exechia subfrigida Las- tovka & Matila, 1974. Exechiopsis dryaspagensis Chandler. 1977 and E. pseudopul- chella (Lundstrom, 1909). Twenty species could not be identified, half of which undoubtly represent undescribed species. The fauna of Norwegian fungus gnats is poorly documented, and most species recorded here are new to Norway. According to the present knowledge on the distribution of fungus gnats, the fauna in Jostedalen seems to have an affinity to the central/eastern Palaearctic fauna, and has more species in common with the Finnish fauna than with the British.

We add four new species to the genus Paratrizygia—P. balbii sp. nov., P. alvesi sp. nov., P. c a m argo i sp. nov., and P. albidens sp.nov.—from the southern part of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Comments are made about the possible relationships of the Brazilian and other Neotropical species of the genus. An identification key to the Neotropical species of the genus is provided. Key words: Paratrizygia, Sciophilinae, Mycetophilidae, Neotropics, Atlantic Forest, Taxonomy Introduction Mycetophilidae (Diptera) is the largest and most diversified Bibionomorpha family, with more than 4,100 described species (Evenhuis et al. 2007), placed in 135 extant genera. Approximately 1,000 species are known from the Neotropics (Papavero 1978, Amorim et al. 2002). The monophyly of Mycetophilidae has been supported in the literature repeatedly.

Altogether, 245 species are recorded including four species of Bolitophilidae, three species of Diadocidiidae, two species of Ditomyiidae, 34 species of Keroplatidae and 202 species of Mycet- ophilidae. 230 and 188 species are recorded from Georgia and the whole of Transcaucasia for the first time, respectively. Three new species –Sciophila georgei sp. nov., Leia katae sp. nov. and Anatella metae sp. nov. – are described including detailed illustrations of the male terminalia. Photographs are provided for an additional 38 species to highlight a variability of their general facies. Combined with earlier pub- lished data, the number of fungus gnat species in Georgia is set at 246. The estimated diversity of fungus gnats in Georgia is calculated using non-parametric methods and discussed with respect to other Western Palaearctic regions.

    浙 江 林 学 院 学 报 2003 , 20(1):32 ～ 36 Journal of Zhejiang Forestry College Article ID :1000-5692(2003)01-0032-05 Study of systemic status of Mycetophilidae WANG Yi-ping , WU Hong , XU Hua-chao (Institute of Forest Protection , Zhejiang Forestry College, Linan 311300 , Zhejiang , China) Abstract :The actuality of Mycetophilidae family research has been illustrated in detail .The research includes biology , classification and idenfication , geographical distribution , status of systemic classification and system development .The existed problems and expectation are also explored in the paper .According to the latest information , Mycetophilidae family is composed of 5 subfamilies , i .e , Mycomyinae , Sciophilinae , Gnoristinae , Leiinae and Mycetophilinae .Mycetophilinae includes 2 tribes :Exechiini and Mycetophilini .References 28 Key words :Mycetophilidae ;geographical distribution ;classification status CLC Number :Q969.44 Document Code:A The family Mycetophilidae belongs to the superfamily Sciaroidea in the order Diptera , which is the largest family in the superfamily Sciaroidea[ 1] .Because of this insects feeding on edible fungi or large fungus body , a lot of scholars have been involved in the research on fungus pest species , and great progress in research on fungus gnats has been made .Based on research results and literature published at home and abroad in the past two decades , the authors make a summarization on the situation of the family Mycetophilidae insect species , including the biology , geography distribution , classification , phylogeny and make a forecast for the existing problems in the hope of providing some fundamental systemic materials for both theoretical research and practical application in the field of control of edible fungus pests[ 2 ～ 15] .

  • Seventy Species of Fungus Gnats New to Finland (Diptera: Mycetophilidae)
    22 © Sahlbergia Vol. 11: 22-39,2006 Seventy species of fungus gnats new to Finland (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) Jevgeni Jakovlev ", Jostein Kjrerandsen b & Alexei Polevoi C Jakovlev, J., Kjrerandsen, J. & Polevoi, A. 2006: Seventy species offungus gnats new to Finland (Diptera: Mycetophilidae). - Sahlbergia 11: 22-39. Helsinki, Finland, ISSN 1237-3273. Seventy species of fungus gnats are reported as new to Finland increasing the known Finnish fauna to 699 species. Eighteen ofthe species are also new to the Nordic region, viz.: Mycomya (Mycomya) livida (Dziedzicki, 1885); Neoemphe­ ria bimaculata (von Roser, 1840); Phthinia winnertzi Mik, 1869; Sciophila pseudoflexuosa Kurina, 1991; Sciophila setosa Garrett, 1925; Allodiopsis gracai Sevcik & Papp, 2003; Brevicornu arcticoides Caspers, 1985; Exechia pseudo- festiva Lackschewitz, 1937; Exechia repandoides Caspers, 1984; Exechiopsis (Xenexechia) perspicua (Johannsen, 1912); Notolopha sibirica Zaitzev & Ma­ ximova, 2000; Pseudexechia canalicula (Johannsen, 1912); Dynatosoma sile­ siacum Sevcik, 2001; Mycetophila exstincta Loew, 1869; Mycetophila idonea Lastovka, 1972; Mycetophila triangularis Lundstrom, 1912; Sceptonia hamata Sevcik, 2004; Sceptonia thaya Sevcik, 2004. Three species are reported for the first time from the Palaearctic region, viz.: Sciophila setosa, Exechiopsis (Xen­ exechia) perspicua and Pseudexechia canalicula. The new records are based mainly on original material collected in southern Finland in 2003 - 2004. In addition the collections at the Finnish Museum ofNatural History, Helsinki were re-examined for the genera Boletina (in part), Allodiopsis, Exechia, Exechiopsis, Myrosia, Notolopha Rymosia and Synplasta. Detailed information on Finnish records as well as data on the general distribution and taxonomical notes are given for each species new to Finland. a Jevgeni Jakovlev, Finnish Forest Research Institute, Vantaa Re­ search Unit, P.O.
