Comments:
Sabrosky 1999: 205: There is some confusion about the type species. Meigen (1803) cited two species, “Tipula fungorum et Agarici Deg.”, but De Geer’s agarici (1776: 367) was polynominal (Tipula agarici seticornis), hence unavailable. Authors have cited agarici as de Villers 1789, whereas rejection of agarici De Geer really left Mycetophila monotypic for T. fungorum De Geer, luckily a typical Mycetophila. Tipula agarici de Villers is a doubtful species of the genus, according to Laštovka (1988: 279)
