  • Phytosciara greylockensis

    Phytosciara greylockensis is a species of dark-winged fungus gnat in the family Sciaridae, described in 2018 from Massachusetts. The species epithet references Mount Greylock, the highest point in the state. Like other members of the genus Phytosciara, it belongs to a group of small, delicate flies associated with moist habitats and fungal substrates. The species is known from a limited number of observations, reflecting both its recent description and the general undersampling of sciarid diversity.
