Introduction Although fungus gnats (Diptera: : Mycetophilidae) were extensively studied dur- ing the twentieth century by many specialists, there remain many taxonomic problems un- solved and many species undescribed or insufficiently known. This applies also to the well known and intensively studied central European fauna. According to recent check lists (KALLW~IT& PLASSM~YN 1999, CHANDLER1998a, KOSELet al. 1997) 574 species of the family Mycetophilidae were recorded from Germany, 440 from Switzerland, 347 from the Czech Republic and only 221 from Slovakia. Studying the mycetophilid collection in the Zoologische Staatssamlung in Munchen I found that several species described by Dr. Eberhard PL~SSMANN are junior synonyms of previously described species and most of them are synonymized in this paper. The other species re- corded here represent first records from the Czech Republic andlor Slovakia. Taxonomic notes on the genus Dynatosoma WIN~ERTZ,1863 are also presented and a new species of the thoracicum species group is described.

Dynatosoma abdominale (STAEGEH,1840) (Fig. lb. c)

= D~~tia/osomu,jiilviventr.eBIIKOWSKI. l949 syn. nov. Material examined. DENMARK: I d (holotype of Dj,notr~.\omaahdoniitiale, ZMC). SLOVAKIA: Povaisky Inovec Mts.. Luka nr. PicSfany cnv., Mt. Ihelnik, 25.4.-3.5. 1999, Id. M. K~LAUFKleg. (SS). Remarks. This species is very similar to D. nigromaculatwm LUNDSTROM,19 13, from which it differs by the yellowish abdomen and details on the male terminalia. The structures of the male terminalia of the specimens from Denmark and Slovakia differ slightly in the shape of a hook-like processus in the medial part of gonostylus (see Fig. 1 h, c) and several closely related species could he separated with further study of more specimens. Although the terminalia of the hoiotype of D. jilviventre are lost (ZAITZEV1986a), it is possible to estab- lish the above mentioned synonymy according to the original description and figure given by BUKOWSKI(1949). ZAITZEV(1986a) placed D. fulviventre in synonymy with D. nigro- maculatum. First record from Slovakia.

The male terminalia of this species were figured e. g. by ZAITZEV(1986a). The inner processus of the medial part of gonostylus is illustrated here in Fig. la. CHANDLER (1 998b) indicated a possible synonymy of D. nigromaculatum with D. ahdominale, but sub- sequently corrected this opinion (see CHANDLER2000).

Dynatosoma schachti PLASSMANN,l999 (Fig. Id) hlaterial examined. SWEDEN: Abisko, 30.8.-6.9.1976, I d (holotype. ZSM). Remarks. Another species of the ahdominale species group. It has dark brown abdomen with second and third segment somewhat lighter on sides and from bellow. The medial part of gonostylus is figured in Fig. Id.

Dynatosoma rufescens (ZETTERSTEDT,1838)

= D~,tru/o.~onrahuko~,~kii A. ZAITZFV, 1986 syn. nov. Material examined. SWEDEN: Lycksele, I d. lectotype (herewith designated), labelled (ZETTIIRSTEUT'Shandwrit- ~ng):"M. rufescens Zrtt. P Lycksele" (MZL). The lectotypr is designated to elucidate the identity and fix the status of this species. CZECH REPUBLIC: Moravia and Silesia, Polanka nad Odrou, Bliicheruv les, floodplain forest, 30.7.1997, 1 d. 26.6.1999. 1 d, 28.7.1999, l d; Stiefi. oak forest, 1.6.-29.7.1997.2d d; ~ilheiovice,Cerny les Nature Reserve. beech forest, l.-18.4.1999, 1 d. 1.5.-30.5.1998: 6 S d, l .-16.6.1998.4d d (all J. ~CIK leg.,^^). SLOVAKIA: Devin near Bratislava, Devinska Kobyla Hill, 16.-17.6.1994, l d (M. KOZAN~Kleg., JS). Remarks. As stated already by EDW.~RDS(1924), the type from Lycksele is a male, not fe- male as ZETTERSTEDTsupposed. However, as ZETTERSTEDT(1838) did not state that he had only one specimen, it is better to designate it here as a lectotype. I have cleared the terminalia of the lectotype and found that they fully correspond to the figures given by ZAITZEV(1986a) for D. bukowskii.

Dynatosoma silesiacum spec. nov. (Fig. 2b, c) T!pe material. Holotype d: CZECH REPUBLIC, Moravia and Silesia, Hruby Jesenik Mts.. Vrbno pod PradEdem env., Jeleni butina Nature Reserve, 4.9.- 9.10.1999, J. ~CIKleg. (collected in yellow pan traps filled with ethylene glycol), stored in glycerol, deposited in SMO. Diagnostic characters. This species is similar to Dynatosoma nonvegiense ZAITZEV& (~KLAND, 1994 and the other species of the thoracicum species group. It can be easily distinguished by its remarkably long and narrow gonostyli with basal processes characteristically formed. Etymology. Named after Silesia, a historical country along the border between Poland and the Czech Republic, where the holotype has been collected. Studia dipterologica 8 (2001) Heft 1: 143-152

Remarks. This species is similar to M. pumila, from which it differs in details on the male terminalia (Fig. 3a, b). I have also several other specimens of the pumila group, which are slightly different from the above-mentioned species, but I would like to collect more mate- rial and see its variability before making further decisions.

Only three species of Sceptonia WINNERTZwere recorded from the Czech and Slovak republics by K&ELet al. (1997). Further species were added by ~VC~K& MARTINOVSKY (1999) and SEVC~K(2000). The Palaearctic species of this genus were reviewed and male terminalia figured by BECHEV(1995). This is a new record for Slovakia.

This species was transferred from Mvcetophila M~IGEN,1803 to Zygomyia WINNERTZ,1863 by ZAITZEV(1989). Mycetophila thaleri was described by PLASS~I.L\N~( 1986) and subsequently listed by CHANDLER(1998a) from Switzerland. It is identical with Zygomyia semijiusca and thus represents a junior synonym of the latter species.
