Mycomya dichaeta
Mycomya dichaeta is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae, described by Fisher in 1937. It belongs to the subfamily Mycomyinae. The species epithet "dichaeta" refers to the characteristic two-bristled condition of certain body parts. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with fungal habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Mycomya obliqua
Mycomya obliqua is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae, described by Thomas Say in 1824. As a member of the subfamily Mycomyinae, it belongs to a diverse group of small flies whose larvae typically develop in decaying organic matter, particularly fungi. The species epithet "obliqua" refers to an oblique or slanted feature of its morphology, though the specific trait referenced is not detailed in available sources. Very few observations of this species have been recorded, with only three documented occurrences in iNaturalist.
Neoempheria balioptera
fungus gnat
Neoempheria balioptera is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae, subfamily Mycomyinae. The species was first described by Loew in 1870. Larvae of this species have been documented feeding on mushrooms in Brazil, representing the first record of Neoempheria biology in the Neotropical region. This discovery provided insights into the life cycle and feeding habits of a genus whose natural history was previously poorly known in South America.
