a new case of an holarctic element in the colombian andes first record of cordyla meigen diptera Mycetophilidae from the neotropical region
ZooKeys, 2015Co-Authors: Olavi Kurina, Sarah Siqueira De ,oliveiraAbstract:Three new species of Mycetophilidae - Cordyla monticola sp. n., Cordyla pseudopusilla sp. n. and Cordyla reducta sp. n. - are described from the Colombian Andes, representing the first described species of Cordyla Meigen from the Neotropical region. Colour photos of their habitus, wing and terminalia are provided. The morphological affinities of male terminalia are discussed in a worldwide context. The distributional pattern of the genus clearly indicates a case of northern elements reaching the north-western region of the Neotropics that corresponds to a secondary extension of a Holarctic clade to the south.

first record of neoempheria osten sacken diptera Mycetophilidae biology in the neotropical region with associations between its larvae and fungi
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2015Co-Authors: Sarah Siqueira De ,oliveira, Fabiano Fabian Albertoni, Christopher J Borkent, Dalton De Souza AmorimAbstract:BACKGROUND Members of the family Mycetophilidae (Diptera) have life cycles that are typically associated with fungus. Their biology is relatively well known in the Palaearctic, though other regions are poorly known, and there are no associations recorded between mycetophilid immatures and fungi in the Neotropical region. Here we report the first association between a mycetophilid-Neoempheriapuncticoxa Edwards-and fungi in this region. Immatures of N.puncticoxa were collected on fungi and some were reared in the laboratory until adult emergence. The immature stages and adult of N.puncticoxa are described and re-described respectively, and high resolution images and illustrations of the habitus, wings, thorax, male and female terminalia, immatures, and in situ specimens are given. NEW INFORMATION We report the first association between Mycetophilidae and fungi in the Neotropical region.

the first cordyla meigen species diptera Mycetophilidae from continental australia and tasmania
ZooKeys, 2013Co-Authors: Olavi Kurina, Sarah Siqueira De ,oliveiraAbstract:A new species of Mycetophilidae, Cordyla australica sp. n., is described from continental Australia and Tasmania, representing the first Cordyla record in the region. A detailed description of its morphology with illustrations of male and female terminalia and a map of the collecting localities are provided. According to the structure of male terminalia, Cordyla australica sp. n. belongs to the Cordyla murina species-group that has 13 species worldwide. Within the group Cordyla australica sp. n. resembles Cordyla murina but has a unique outline of the hypoproct and medial branch of the gonostylus. The observed distributional pattern is restricted to the rainforest of eastern Australia and Tasmania.

two new neuratelia rondani diptera Mycetophilidae species from western palaearctic a case of limited congruence between morphology and dna sequence data
ZooKeys, 2015Co-Authors: Olavi Kurina, Erki Õunap, Kadri PoldmaaAbstract:Two new Mycetophilidae species, Neuratelia jabalmoussae sp. n. and Neuratelia salmelai sp. n. are described on the basis of material collected from Lebanon, Estonia and Finland. Detailed figures of male terminalia and photographs of general facies are provided along with discussions of their morphological distinction from sibling species. For the first time molecular characters are used to distinguish new fungus gnat species. Molecular analysis relies on cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI) but has additionally been corroborated by information from the 28S and ITS2 regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Situations where morphological and molecular data provide conflicting evidence for species delimitation are discussed. A new country record from Georgia is provided for Neuratelia caucasica.

Coelosynapha, a new genus of the subfamily Gnoristinae (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) with a circumpolar, Holarctic distribution
'Pensoft Publishers', 2020Co-Authors: Kjærandsen Jostein, Polevoi Alexei, Salmela JukkaAbstract:Background - The subfamily Gnoristinae is one of the most diverse and taxonomically difficult subfamilies of Mycetophilidae, with new species and genera being described almost every year from various parts of the world. Through inventories of fungus gnats in the Nordic Region and Russia, a genus and species new to science was discovered, yet with links back to an illustration made by the late French entomologist Loïc Matile in the 1980s. DNA barcoding aligned it with yet another species new to science, distributed across Canada and documented through The Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) by Paul D. N. Hebert and colleagues at the BOLD team. New information - The new Holarctic genus, Coelosynapha gen. n. is described, consisting of two new species, the Palaearctic Coelosynapha loici sp. n. and the Nearctic Coelosynapha heberti sp. n. DNA-barcodes assign the two new species to distinctly separated (8.27% p-distance) Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) which are most closely aligned to unidentified species of Mycetophilidae from South Australia and Costa Rica on BOLD. The new genus shows morphological characteristics in between the two Holarctic genera Coelosia Winnertz, 1864 and Synapha Meigen, 1818 and further shows affinity to the southern continents genus Austrosynapha Tonnoir, 1929. The Palaearctic Coelosynapha loici sp. n., for which habitat requirements are best documented, is largely restricted to pristine, old-growth conifer (mostly spruce, Picea abies ssp. obovata) forests within the boreal vegetation zone, although it is also recorded from hummock tundra along the Anadyr River in Far East Russia

molecular phylogeny of the fungus gnat subfamilies gnoristinae and mycomyinae and their position within Mycetophilidae diptera
Systematic Entomology, 2019Co-Authors: David Kaspřak, Peter H. Kerr, Andrea Tothova, Vit Sýkora, Jan ŠevčíkAbstract:The phylogeny of the fungus gnat family Mycetophilidae (Diptera) is reconstructed with a focus on the species-rich and taxonomically difficult subfamilies Gnoristinae and Mycomyinae. The multigene phylogenetic analyses are based on five nuclear (18S, 28S, CAD, MCS, ITS2) and four mitochondrial (12S, 16S, COI, CytB) gene markers. The analyses strongly support the monophyly of Mycetophilidae and the subfamilies Manotinae, Sciophilinae, Leiinae, and Mycomyinae, although Gnoristinae is paraphyletic with respect to Mycetophilinae. All the genera and groups of genera included are supported as monophyletic, except for Acomoptera Vockeroth, Boletina Staeger, Dziedzickia Johannsen, Ectrepesthoneura Enderlein, and Neoempheria Osten Sacken. Ancestral character state reconstructions were applied to two morphological features present in Gnoristinae and Mycomyinae (i.e. presence of setae on wing membrane and wing vein R4) in order to assess their evolution. The wing vein R4 appears as an unstable character, spread throughout different clades. A dated phylogeny of the family Mycetophilidae showed that most of the subfamilies of Mycetophilidae originated and diversified during the Cretaceous. The youngest subfamilies, originated in the Paleogene, appear to be Mycomyinae and Mycetophilinae.

2016Co-Authors: Jan ŠevčíkAbstract:Abstract. A new species of Docosia Winnertz, 1863 (Diptera: Mycetophilidae), Docosia heikkii, sp.nov., is described from Doi Inthanon of northern Thailand. This is the first record of the principally Holarctic Docosia from the Oriental Region. The new species is characterized by its apically clouded wings with all the veins dark, vein ta being relatively short and oblique, long palpi, setose laterotergites, yellow coxae and peculiar male terminalia. It has a rather distinct position within the genus with some characters typical of the subfamily Gnoristinae rather than Leiinae

molecular phylogeny of fungus gnats diptera Mycetophilidae revisited position of manotinae metanepsiini and other enigmatic taxa as inferred from multigene analysis
Systematic Entomology, 2013Co-Authors: Jan Ševčík, David Kaspřak, Andrea TothovaAbstract:The phylogeny of selected genera from four subfamilies of fungus gnats (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) – Manotinae, Leiinae, Sciophilinae and Gnoristinae (including Metanepsiini) – is reconstructed based on the combined analysis of five mitochondrial (12S , 16S , COI , COII , cytB) and two nuclear (28S , ITS2 ) gene markers. Results of the different analyses all support Manotinae as a monophyletic group, with Leiinae as the sister group. Allactoneura DeMeijere is nested in the monophyletic and strongly supported clade of Leiinae. The tribe Metanepsiini is revealed as paraphyletic and the genera Metanepsia Edwards and Chalastonepsia Soli do not appear to be closely related. The genera Docosia Winnertz, Ectrepesthoneura Enderlein, Novakia Strobl and Syntemna Winnertz were placed with a group of genera included traditionally in the Gnoristinae. The monophyly of Dziedzickia Johannsen and Phthinia Winnertz is not supported. The genera of Sciophilinae (excluding Paratinia Mik but including Eudicrana Loew) form a monophyletic group in the Bayesian model.

brachyradia a new genus of the tribe exechiini diptera Mycetophilidae from the oriental and australasian regions
Raffles Bulletin of Zoology, 2012Co-Authors: Jan Ševčík, Jostein KjaerandsenAbstract:Brachyradia, new genus, is proposed and described for two new species of the tribe Exechiini (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) from the Oriental and Australasian regions. The type species, Brachyradia asiatica, new species, is described from Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia (Sulawesi), and a second species, Brachyradia australis, new species, from Indonesia (Sulawesi) and Papua New Guinea. The systematic position of the new genus and the zoogeography of the tribe Exechiini are discussed. The new genus shows closest affi nities with Brevicornu with interconnections towards Cordyla, Neallodia, and Anatella. As the latter genera have been considered among the most primitive taxa of the tribe, Brachyradia may generate new and interesting questions about polarities of characters, direction of morphological transformations, and the zoogeographical origin of the Exechiini genera.
