The Manota species in the Congo basin are reviewed and 17 species are recorded. The following five new species are described: M. grootaerti sp. n., M. peltata sp. n., M. peltigera sp. n., M. reclinata sp. n., and M wittei sp. n. New records of the following species are presented: M. freerki Hippa \& Kurina, 2012, M. issongo Matile, 1972, M. kibaleensis Hippa \& Kurina, 2012, M. lachaisei Matile, 1972, M. mabokeensis Matile, 1972, M. mazumbaiensis S\øli, 1993, M. petiolata Hippa \& Kurina, 2012, M. pilosa Hippa \& Kurina, 2012, M. relicina Hippa \& Kurina, 2012, M. senticosa Hippa \& Kurina, 2012 and M. teocchii Matile, 1972. Manota issongo is redescribed, including detailed illustration of the male hypopygium. The number of Afrotropical Manota species is increased to 56.

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.
