These species represent the first records of Azana for western North America. A diagnosis of the genus Azana Walker is presented and a provisional key for the New World species of the genus is given. The discovery of A. malinamoena and A. frizzelli in California and their apparently close relationship to A. nigricoxa Strobl from south-western Europe (rather than to the only other Azana species known from North America, A. sinusa Coher) implies a more complicated biogeographic history of this genus in North America, one that probably includes multiple, independent dispersal events.10aCalifornia10afungus gnats10anew species10aSystematics1 aKerr, Peter  uhttp://www.online-keys.net/sciaroidea/2000_/Kerr_2010_Azana_zt02397p014.pdf
