“…However, limited attention has been paid to the biodiversity research in the area so far ( Mumladze et al 2020 ) and most organism groups, including Diptera and fungus gnats in particular, are rather superficially studied. There are 33 species of fungus gnats recorded from Azerbaijan ( Zaitzev 1994 , 2003 ; Zaitzev and Ševčík 2003 ) and seven species from Armenia ( Joost and Plassmann 1985 , Zaitzev 1994 ). From Georgia, only one species was known ( Zaitzev 1994 ) prior to Kurina and Jürgenstein (2013) who described two new Orfelia Costa ( Keroplatidae ) species from Marelisi, NW of Borjomi.…”

Furthermore, an additional 24 fungus gnat species have been listed to occur in Transcaucasia but without a specified region ( Zaitzev 1994 , 2003 ). Concerning neighbouring areas, 91 species of fungus gnats are recorded from the northern slopes of the Great Caucasus ridge, most of them from the surroundings of Mt Elbrus ( Joost and Plassmann 1976 , 1979 , 1985 , 1992 , Plassmann 1976 ).…”

The fungus gnats of Georgia are studied based on 2682 specimens collected from 57 localities during 2011–2019. Altogether, 245 species are recorded including four species of Bolitophilidae, three species of Diadocidiidae, two species of Ditomyiidae, 34 species of Keroplatidae and 202 species of Mycetophilidae. 230 and 188 species are recorded from Georgia and the whole of Transcaucasia for the first time, respectively. Three new species – Sciophila georgei sp. nov., Leia katae sp. nov. and Anatella metae sp. nov. – are described including detailed illustrations of the male terminalia. Photographs are provided for an additional 38 species to highlight a variability of their general facies. Combined with earlier published data, the number of fungus gnat species in Georgia is set at 246. The estimated diversity of fungus gnats in Georgia is calculated using non-parametric methods and discussed with respect to other Western Palaearctic regions.

“…All Neuratelia species have a relatively short tergite 9, restricted to the anterodorsal portion of the male terminalia, in such a way that the gonocoxites project well beyond the distal margin of tergite 9 (e.g. Matile 1974: figs 2–7; Zaitzev 1994: figs 5, 6; Sasakawa 2004: figs 1–5; Kurina et al 2015: figs 7, 21, 22). In some species, tergite 9 extends only half way the extension of the gonocoxite, but in other species it is restricted to an even more anterior position.…”

We describe two new Neotropical species of Neuratelia Rondani from the high Central Andes of Colombia, N.altoandinasp. nov. and N.colombianasp. nov. The holotype of Eudicranaelegans Lane actually is a species of Neuratelia and a new combination is proposed. Our examination of the holotype of Neurateliasapaici Lane from southeastern Brazil shows this species to be a synonym of N.elegans (Lane), which is formally proposed here. Neurateliasapaici is redescribed. The position of these three species within the genus is discussed. A key for the Neotropical species of Neuratelia is provided.

“…6) was based on material collected from three Nearctic sites in Arizona, British Columbia and Ontario (Zaitzev 1982). Later the species has been recorded from the Russian Far East (Zaitzev 2006), France, Switzerland (Chandler 2004) and the Czech Republic (Ševčík 2005). New for the Fennoscandian fauna.…”

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.
