Sciophilinae

Guides

  • Eudicrana

    Eudicrana is a genus of fungus gnats (Diptera: Mycetophilidae: Sciophilinae) comprising approximately 13 described species. The genus is distinguished by the absence of a mid ocellus, lateral ocelli positioned adjacent to the eye margins, and wing venation where R4 forms an elongated rectangular cell. Four new species were recently described from high Andean ecosystems in Colombia, representing the first records from the extreme northern range of the Andes. Natural history and biology remain poorly documented for most species.

  • Eudicrana obumbrata

    Eudicrana obumbrata is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae, first described by Loew in 1870. It belongs to the subfamily Sciophilinae, a group characterized by larvae that develop in fungal substrates. The species is part of a genus distributed across the Holarctic region.

  • Leptomorphus nebulosus

    fungus gnat

    Leptomorphus nebulosus is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae, first described by Walker in 1848. The species occurs in North America, with records from both Canada and the United States. Like other members of its family, it is associated with fungal habitats. The genus Leptomorphus belongs to the subfamily Sciophilinae within the diverse fungus gnat family.

  • Monoclona

    fungus gnats

    Monoclona is a genus of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae, comprising approximately 18 described species. The genus was established by Mik in 1886 and belongs to the subfamily Sciophilinae. At least one species, Monoclona carambeiensis, has been described from the Neotropical region with complete life cycle documentation. The genus has been recorded in Europe (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) and South America (Brazil).

  • Monoclona rufilatera

    Monoclona rufilatera is a species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae. It is known from Scandinavian countries including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The species is one of relatively few documented observations within its genus.
