Eugnoriste
black fungus gnat
Eugnoriste is a genus of black fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaridae) established by Coquillett in 1896. In the Nearctic region, the genus includes seven species, four of which were described as new to science in a 2017 taxonomic revision: E. brachycostalis, E. florea, E. hirsuta, and E. ptilosis. The genus is characterized by distinctive morphological features that separate it from other sciarid genera, though detailed ecological and life history information remains limited.
