  • Allodia

    Allodia is a genus of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae, established by Winnertz in 1863. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution but is predominantly Palearctic, with recent discoveries expanding its known range in the Afrotropical region. Species within Allodia are divided between two subgenera: Allodia stricto sensu and Brachycampta. Afrotropical species show recent diversification with a single origin, as supported by DNA barcoding studies.
