A second Nearctic species of the recently erected fungus gnat genus
Acomopterella Zaitzev was discovered in the eastern United States. The only
currently recognized Nearctic congener of the new species occurs in the far western
United States and Canada. One adult male flew to a Malaise trap in an ecotone
between swamp and second-growth forest dominated by black ash (Fraxinus nigra
Marshall), paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marshall), red maple (Acer rubrum L.), and
black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrhart).

Four new Nearctic species of the fungus gnat genus Tetragoneura Winnertz, 1846 were discovered in eastern North America. Tetragoneura polyspina Taber is known from Canada and the northern United States, Tetragoneura canada Taber is known only from its boreal namesake country, Tetragoneura dixie Taber is known only from the austral United States, and Tetragoneura caligula Taber is known only from the Great Lakes region of the United States. With the two recently described species Tetragoneura caliga Taber and Tetragoneura lustra Taber, and the designation of Tetragoneura nitida Adams, 1903 as a nomen dubium, a total of six Nearctic species of this genus are currently known.

A new Nearctic species of the fungus gnat genus Tetragoneura Winnertz, 1846 was discovered in western Michigan, USA. More than 100 males and seven females of Tetragoneura lustra spec. nov. flew to a Malaise trap over the course of several years in an ecotone between swamp and second-growth forest. The new species resembles published accounts of Tetragoneura nitida Adams, 1903, which is relegated
herein to the status of nomen dubium. Juvenile stages of T. lustra are unknown.

European species of the Mycetophila ruficollis group are compared on the basis of morphology and sequences
of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI) and the ITS2 region of nuclear ribosomal
DNA. The study represents the first evaluation of morphology-based species delimitation of closely
related fungus gnat species by applying molecular information. Detailed descriptions and illustrations
of the male terminalia are presented along with a key for the identification of all nine European species
of the group. Phylogenetic analyses of molecular data generally supported the morphological species
discrimination. The barcoding region of COI superseded ITS2 rDNA in resolving species. In the COI
barcoding region interspecific differences ranged from 2.9 to 10.6% and the intraspecific distance from
0.08 to 0.8%. Only COI data distinguished between the similar and closely related M. ichneumonea and
M. uninotata of which the latter was observed to include cryptic species. The host range of some species is
suggested to be narrower than previously considered and to depend on the forest type. Presented evidence
indicates the importance of analysing sequence data of morphologically very similar mycetophages reared
from identified host fungi for elucidating species delimitation as well as their geographic and host ranges.
New country records, viz. Estonia for M. evanida, Georgia for M. ichneumonea, M. idonea and M. ruficollis,
and Norway for M. strobli, widen the known distribution ranges of these species.

2014AbstractMaking generalisations on trophic interactions is often limited because studies mostly focus on only a few target systems.Despite the important role of fungivores in forest ecosystems, the determinants of their communities are poorly known. Thisstudy examined, for the first time, on the basis of quantitative data, the diversity of fungivorous insects in relation to that oftheir hosts. Variation in range, species richness and community composition of associated partners was compared among fungusgnats (Diptera: Mycetophilidae, Bolitophilidae) and their mushroom hosts (Basidiomycota: Agaricomycetes) using rarefactionprocedures and permutational analysis of variance. DNA barcoding aided identification of fungus gnat species. In the studiedboreal forests, 80% of the 100 fungal species and 74% of 460 fruitbodies were colonised by fungus gnats. Each infestedmushroom species hosted 1 to 12 gnat species, with 37 gnat species reared from 1 to 41 fungal species. Mushroom and fungusgnat species were both associated with three partner species at median. While most of the common gnat species could beconsidered oligo- or polyphagous, this study showed that earlier works have erroneously categorised some ubiquitous species aspolyphagous in the absence of quantitative data. Species richness of fungus gnats and mushrooms correlated strongly at the levelof host genera. Regarding partners community composition, analysing frequencies of associations between all pairs of partnerspecies revealed no significant differences among fungus gnats but distinguished between the saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizalmushroom genera. Our results provide empirical evidence to substantiate a recent hypothesis that fungal trophic status affects,via fruitbody characteristics, the community structure of associated organisms. Presented evidence suggests oligophages withhost preference to prevail among mushroom-feeding fungus gnats, thereby distinguishing these from many other studied insectguilds, largely composed of broad generalists and strict specialists.

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.
