A1 - Menzel, Frank SP - 175 EP - 192 AB - Eleven Japanese of black fungus gnats species are studied and eight species of Sciara, including two new species S. pectilinealis Sutou spec. nov., and S. kitakamiensis Sutou spec. nov., are described and illustrated. Sciara hemerobioides (Scopoli, 1763), S. helvola Winnertz, 1867 and S. multispinulosa Mohrig & Kozánek, 1992 are newly recorded from Japan. New localities for S. thoracica Matsumura, 1916, S. humeralis Zetterstedt, 1851 and S. melanostyla Mohrig & Krivosheina, 1990 are recorded. A previous locality for S. lackschewitzi Lengersdorf, 1934 is noted. The species name Sciara fagi Shinji, 1938 is treated as nomen dubium. Lycoria japonica Enderlein, 1911 [cited in the literature in Sciara] is transferred to the genus Bradysia Winnertz, 1867 (comb. nov.). L2 - 26306 L3 - 26461 CY - Halle/Saale VL - 11 ER -
