      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 ...
    • Revision of the Exechia parva group (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) 

      Lindemann, Jon Peder; Søli, Geir Einar Ellefsen; Kjærandsen, Jostein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-24)
      Exechia is a diverse genus of small fungus gnats, widespread in the Holarctic Region, while the fauna is largely unknown elsewhere, such as in the Afrotropical and Oriental Region. Members of Exechia can be arranged into several species groups, based on homologies in the male and female terminalia. The Exechia parva group is delimited, based on male terminalia possessing a pair of gonocoxal lobes ...
    • Updated checklist of Norwegian Mycetophilidae (Diptera) with 92% DNA barcode reference coverage. 

      Kjærandsen, Jostein; Søli, Geir Einar Ellefsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Up to present 602 species and 65 genera of fungus gnats, family Mycetophilidae, are published from Norway. Extensive collecting supported by the Norwegian Biodiversity Information Centre (NBIC) over the eight last years, with special focus on insect fauna in northern Norway, has documented 240 additional species and 2 additional genera from Norway, of which 118 species are considered as new to ...
