Coelosynapha, a new genus of the subfamily Gnoristinae (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) with a circumpolar, Holarctic distribution
Kjærandsen, Jostein; Polevoi, Alexei; Salmela, Jukka (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-10)<i>Background</i> - The subfamily Gnoristinae is one of the most diverse and taxonomically difficult subfamilies of Mycetophilidae, with new species and genera being described almost every year from various parts of the world. Through inventories of fungus gnats in the Nordic Region and Russia, a genus and species new to science was discovered, yet with links back to an illustration made by the late ... -
The fly specimen that awaited a growing barcode community to be dusted off the shelves and given a name. The online barcode library facilitates the description of new Diptera genus with circumpolar Holarctic distribution
Kjærandsen, Jostein; Polevoi, Alexei; Salmela, Jukka (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-04)While it can take an average of 21 years between the discovery and description of a new species1, the challenges of relating known taxa and the scarcity of high-quality specimens make the description of a new genus even more difficult and time-consuming. Our paper recently published in the Biodiversity Data Journal introduced a new fungus gnat genus – <i>Coelosynapha</i> – demonstrating that despite ... -
A Rarely Seen Taxonomic Revision with Immense Value for 41 Years and Counting: Reflections on the 1981 Monograph of Trichonta Winnertz, 1864 (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) by Raymond Gagné, with an Integrative Revision of the Trichonta Vulcani (Dziedzicki, 1889) Species Complex.
Kjærandsen, Jostein; Jakovlev, Jevgeni; Polevoi, Alexei; Salmela, Jukka; Kurina, Olavi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)We celebrate Raymond J. Gagné for his contributions to taxonomy of the Mycetophilidae (Diptera), specifically for his forty-one-years-old monograph of Holarctic Trichonta Winnertz, 1864 that is still the primary source used for species identification in the genus. We briefly reflect on his monograph´s impact and demonstrate by use of recent DNA barcode data extracted from BOLD Systems (BOLD) ...
