New data on the fungus gnats fauna of the Taimyr Peninsula (Russia) are presented. Seventy-two species of the families Bolitophilidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae are reported, 65 of which are new for the area. Five species are newly recorded from Russia and two species — from the Palaearctic region. Two new species: Boletina rodentistyla Polevoi, sp.n. and Boletina pyasina Maximova et Subbotina, sp.n. are described.

Exechia is a diverse genus of small fungus gnats, widespread in the Holarctic Region, while the fauna is largely unknown elsewhere, such as in the Afrotropical and Oriental Region. Members of Exechia can be arranged into several species groups, based on homologies in the male and female terminalia. The Exechia parva group is delimited, based on male terminalia possessing a pair of gonocoxal lobes on the apicoventral gonocoxal margin. Eight previously-described species can be placed in this group, of which six are from the Holarctic Region, while one is recorded each from the Oriental and the Afrotropical Regions.

 

The Exechia parva group was reviewed and found to include 33 species, of which 24 were described as new to science and six were re-described. Identification keys to 32 species for males and nine species for females are provided together with illustrations and photos of male and female terminalia. Species delimitations were based on morphological examination of 94 male and female specimens, as well as DNA barcodes obtained from 124 specimens. Molecular and morphological species delimitations were mostly congruent, except in two cases where two species were delimited within a single Barcode Index Number (BIN). We found that each species is only known from a single zoogeographical region and that several species complexes are largely congruent with zoogeographical divisions, indicating that intercontinental barriers may have a strong impact on the species diversity of the group.

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. 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.

The genus Boletina is a species rich group of fungus gnats. Members of the genus are mainly known from temperate, boreal and arctic biomes. Phylogeny of the genus is still poorly resolved, dozens of species are insufficiently described and undescribed species are often discovered, especially from samples taken from the boreal zone. Four new species are described. Boletina valteri Salmela sp.n. (Finland), Boletina kullervoi Salmela sp.n. (Finland), B. hyperborea Salmela sp.n. (Finland, Norway, Sweden, Canada) and B. nuortti Salmela sp.n. (Finland). Boletina arctica Holmgren is redescribed and reported for the first time from the Canadian high arctic zone. Boletina borealis Zetterstedt and B. birulai Lundström are reported for the first time from Canada. Boletina subnitidula Sasakawa (syn. n.) is proposed as a junior synonym of B. pallidula Edwards.

A total of 12 gnat species are reported for the first time from Finland (3 Cecidomyiidae, 1 Keroplatidae, 8 Mycetophilidae), and the occurrence of Macrocera nigropicea Lundström in Finland is verified. All material was collected from the Finnish Lapland, mainly from the north boreal ecoregion. Two of the recorded species are likely to be pyrophilous, associated with forest fire sites. A photo of the ventral appendage of the gonocoxite of Brevicornu setigerum Zaitzev is provided for the first time. The male hypopygium of Mycetophila haruspica Plassmann is redescribed.

During 2012-2014, the Parks {&} Wildlife Finland (Metsähallitus, Lappi) performed biodiversity inventories of insects by using Malaise traps. Malaise traps are suitable for collecting low-flying insects in all habitats. A total of 85 traps were set in 24 conservation areas. The traps were placed on aapamires, springs, alpine wetlands and forested habitats. The average collecting effort was 103 days/trap. The following orders were identified from the traps: hemipterans (Hemiptera), bark lice (Psocoptera), caddisflies (Trichoptera), several true fly families (Diptera) and beetles (Coleoptera). Four thoroughly well-studied insect groups consisting of selected nematoceran families, hemipterans, chironomids and caddisflies, were identified from all sites in all three years. The identified material consisted of ca. 80000 specimens. The observed total number of species was 2011, of which 752 species were singletons (i.e. were identified only from one conservation area). Most of the encountered species were dipterans (1587), other groups yielded 424 species (Hemiptera 184, Coleoptera 122, Trichoptera 86, Psocoptera 29). During the survey, a total of 112 species were found for the first time from Finland. The material included 58 taxa that are still undescribed, that is, they lack a scientific name. Of these undescribed taxa a vast majority were dipterans (57), only one was a caddisfly. A total of 66 nationally red-listed species (DD, NT, VU, EN) were observed. Törmäoja conservation area in Savukoski was the most species rich site (811), but the trapping effort (1113 trapping days) was also the highest there. There was a positive correlation between trapping effort and observed species richness and also between observed species richness and the number of red-listed species. The correlations of species richness between the four thoroughly studied groups were either weakly positive or no correlation was found. According to the Mantel test, assemblage variation of these four groups was concordant. In northern areas the importance of dipterans is relatively high. In the future true flies should be more often used as a target group in biotic inventories. In general, inventories and mappings should include several taxonomic groups, or different guilds or groups that differ in their habitat requirements. The relatively high number of undescribed species indicates how poorly we know assemblages inhabiting conservation areas. This report is also an example of a productive co-operation between the administration (Parks {&} Wildlife Finland) and entomologists.

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.

The Icelandic fauna of fungus gnats in the families Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae is revised based on available material lodged at the Icelandic Institute of Natural History; the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark; the Museum of Zoology in Lund, Sweden; and the Museum of Zoology in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Eight species names previously published from Iceland are removed from the Icelandic fauna due to misidentifications. Three replaced names and 20 new species are added; viz. Allocotocera pulchella (Curtis, 1837), Sciophila hirta Meigen, 1818, S. parviareolata Santos Abreu, 1920, Boletina basalis (Meigen, 1818), B. gripha Dziedzicki, 1885, Leia fascipennis Meigen, 1818, Anatella sp., Brevicornu auriculatum (Edwards, 1925), B. verralli (Edwards, 1925), Exechia borealis Lundström, 1912 sp. restit., E. micans Las ˇtovka & Matile, 1974, E. pectinivalva Stackelberg, 1948, E. pseudofestiva Lackschewitz, 1937, E. sp. A, Exechiopsis ligulata (Lundström, 1913), Rymosia speyae Chandler, 1994, Mycetophila marginata Winnertz, 1863, Phronia bicolor Dziedzicki, 1889, P. braueri Dziedzicki, 1889, P. taczanowskyi Dziedzicki, 1889, Trichonta atricauda (Zetterstedt, 1852), T. terminalis (Walker, 1856) and Zygomyia pseudohumeralis Caspers, 1980. The known fauna now comprises 41 species in 19 genera. Keys to genera and males of all species are provided. Females are associated to males and keyed for all species except for species belonging to genera Anatella Winnertz, Brevicornu Marshall and Sciophila Meigen. One male Exechia with rather peculiar but mal-developed terminalia could not be placed in any known species. Hence, it is figured and briefly described here, but left without a scientific name until more material is discovered. Exechia borealis is figured and reinstated as a separate species based on studies of Finnish type material and selection of a lectotype. To confirm the identity of Macrocera nigropicea Lundström, 1906 the Finnish holotype has been studied and compared with the closely related M. maculata Meigen, 1818. Estimates of the total species richness in Iceland varies between 44 and 52. The Icelandic fauna of fungus gnats is discussed in the context of its relationship to the wider Holarctic fauna, especially to that of the adjacent parts of NW Europe. There is a strong affinity with the rest of NW Europe and a high proportion of the Icelandic species show a Holarctic, seemingly circumpolar distribution. The fauna of fungus gnats in Iceland is regarded to be entirely postglacial in origin. Thus, the dominance of species in the subfamily Mycetophilinae indicates that they are a successful group in the high boreal and arctic regions with a great dispersion potential. The main limiting factor for the diversity of fungus gnats on Iceland is probably lack of highly developed forest environments.

A checklist of the ’fungus gnat’ group of families in Sciaroidea: Bolitophilidae, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae (Diptera) recorded from Finland. At present, the known Finnish fauna comprises 767 recognized species in 78 genera; 21 species of the family Bolitophilidae, 5 of the family Diadocidiidae, 2 of the family Ditomyiidae, 47 of the family Keroplatidae and 692 of the family Mycetophilidae. The unassigned genus Sciarosoma Chandler, 2002 is not included in this paper because it is listed with Sciaridae. The most relevant synonyms, on which species were ever listed from Finland in Hackman (1980) and subsequent authors are indicated in the checklist. Eighteen species names of wrong records were removed.
