      An extensive collection of fungus gnats from Nepal and Bhutan, deposited at Kyushu University Museum in Japan, has been examined and revealed nine species of <i>Allodia</i> Winnertz, 1864 new to science: <i>Allodia caligata</i> Magnussen, <b>sp. n.</b>, <i>A. dibolia</i> Magnussen, <b>sp. n.</b>, <i>A. shimai</i> Magnussen, <b>sp. n.</b>, <i>A. spathulata</i> Magnussen, <b>sp. n.</b>, <i>A. horologia</i> ...

      In this study, we use low-coverage shotgun sequencing of genomic DNA, commonly referred to as genome skimming, to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of the fungus gnat genus Allodia Winnertz (Mycetophilidae, Mycetophilinae, Exechiini). Nineteen specimens, representing 16 in-group and three outgroup taxa, were successfully sequenced and molecular markers of both mitochondrial and nuclear ...
