The North American fauna of Black Fungus Gnats (Diptera: Sciaroidea: Sciaridae) currently comprises
25 genera and 166 species (including 8 species incertae sedis). 82 species are distributed only
in the Nearctic and 67 species in the Holarctic, 1 species in the Holarctic/Neotropical Regions and
8 species in North and Central America including the Caribbean islands. 223 species-group names
have been applied to taxa occurring in North America (north of Mexico). These were described or
have been reported from North America (USA and Canada) since 1827. For these names, 42 new
species-group combinations, 60 new species-group synonyms, and one new genus-group synonym
are here proposed. Two species remain unplaced but have been redescribed and figured, whereas
six species-group names cannot be interpreted (one described by CURRAN, three by FITCH, one
by KIEFFER, one by WALKER). Seven species-group names from SAY are considered to be nomina
dubia. Twelve species-group names described or reported from Greenland have been excluded
from this revision (section 10).

The cladistic analysis of 60 morphological characters from the adults of 27 (extant) or 29 (extant and fossil) ingroup species and one outgroup species produced three shortest cladograms. In the analysis excluding the fossils, the most parsimonious solution confirmed the monophyly of the Manotinae sensu TUOMIKOSKI. In the cladograms obtained by analysing the extant and fossil taxa together, one fossil species, Alavamanota burmitina BLAGODEROV \& GRIMALDI, appeared as the sister-group of Manota WILLISTON, whereas the other fossil, Alavamanota hispanica BLAGODEROV \& ARILLO, was placed outside the Manotinae clade. In both analyses, the genus Procycloneura ENDERLEIN, traditionally classified in the Leiini, appeared as the sister-group of the Manotinae. Unlike the Manotinae, the genera of the Leiini sensu EDWARDS analysed here did not form a monophyletic group. The Leiini appear to be highly polyphyletic, and our results thus confirm the doubts of many previous authors concerning the monophyly of this tribe. Five new species from the Oriental region are described: Eumanota hilleviae spec. nov., E. kambaiti spec. nov., Paramanota awanensis spec. nov., P. peninsulae spec. nov. and P. sumatrana spec. nov. Promanota malaisei TUOMIKOSKI, 1966 is redescribed and the genera Eumanota, Paramanota and Promanota are redefined. The females of Eumanota and Paramanota are described for the first time.}, keywords = {Diptera-, Eumanota-hilleviae ( Mycetophilidae- ) : Indonesia-, Insecta-, Manotinae- ( Manotidae- ) : Phylogeny; Paramanota-awanensis, New-species; Eumanota-kambaiti ( Mycetophilidae- ) : Myanmar-, New-species; Manotidae- : Nematocera-, New-species; Paramanota-sumatrana ( Manotidae- ), Paramanota-peninsulae ( Manotidae- ) : Malaysia-}, url = {http://www.online-keys.net/sciaroidea/add01/Hippa_et_al_2005_Manotinae_Phylogeny.pdf}, author = {Hippa, Heikki and Jaschhof, Mathias and Vilkamaa, Pekka} }
