The fungus gnats of Georgia are studied based on 2682 specimens collected from 57 localities during 2011\–2019. Altogether, 245 species are recorded including four species of Bolitophilidae, three species of Diadocidiidae, two species of Ditomyiidae, 34 species of Keroplatidae and 202 species of Mycetophilidae. 230 and 188 species are recorded from Georgia and the whole of Transcaucasia for the first time, respectively. Three new species \– Sciophila georgei sp. nov., Leia katae sp. nov. and Anatella metae sp. nov. \– are described including detailed illustrations of the male terminalia. Photographs are provided for an additional 38 species to highlight a variability of their general facies. Combined with earlier published data, the number of fungus gnat species in Georgia is set at 246. The estimated diversity of fungus gnats in Georgia is calculated using non-parametric methods and discussed with respect to other Western Palaearctic regions.

In addition, new records for the following 11 species are presented: Manota acuminata Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota arenalensis Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota corcovado Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota costaricensis Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota diversiseta Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Colombia, Brazilian Amazonia, Costa Rica), Manota minutula Hippa, Kurina \& Sääksjärvi, 2017 (Brazilian Amazonia), Manota multisetosa Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota parva Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Colombia, Costa Rica), Manota pisinna Hippa \& Kurina, 2013 (Brazilian Amazonia), Manota spinosa Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Colombia) and Manota squamulata Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica). Distribution patterns include (1) species known only locally in Costa Rica or Colombia, (2) distributions connecting Central America to west Andes lowlands, and (3) north-west Neotropical components, extending from Central America to Brazilian Amazonia.\  The possible biogeographical and taxonomical context of Manota species with a widespread distribution is considered.

Two new Mycetophilidae species, Neuratelia jabalmoussae sp. n. and Neuratelia salmelai sp. n. are described
on the basis of material collected from Lebanon, Estonia and Finland. Detailed figures of male
terminalia and photographs of general facies are provided along with discussions of their morphological
distinction from sibling species. For the first time molecular characters are used to distinguish new fungus
gnat species. Molecular analysis relies on cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI) but has additionally been
corroborated by information from the 28S and ITS2 regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Situations where
morphological and molecular data provide conflicting evidence for species delimitation are discussed. A
new country record from Georgia is provided for Neuratelia caucasica.

A new species of Mycetophilidae, Cordyla australica sp. n., is described from continental Australia and
Tasmania, representing the first Cordyla record in the region. A detailed description of its morphology
with illustrations of male and female terminalia and a map of the collecting localities are provided. According
to the structure of male terminalia, C. australica sp. n. belongs to the C. murina species-group
that has 13 species worldwide. Within the group C. australica sp. n. resembles C. murina but has a unique
outline of the hypoproct and medial branch of the gonostylus. The observed distributional pattern is
restricted to the rainforest of eastern Australia and Tasmania.
