Beiträge zur Taxonomie und Faunistik der paläarktischen Trauermücken

During recent years a thorough examination of all available palaearctic
sciarid types was carried out. It has produced new taxonomic and
nomenclatorial results within the following supraspecific taxa and
their species: Bradysia Winnertz, Bonessia Mohrig, Bradysiopsis Tuomikoski,
Caenosciara Lengersdorf, Cratyna Winnertz, Decembrina Frey, Epidapus
Haliday, Hyperlasion Schmitz, Lengersdorfia Kratochvil, Lycoriella
Frey, Mycosciara Kieffer, Plastosciara Berg, Pnyxia Johannsen, Scatopsciara
Edwards, Schmitzia Vimmer, Sciara Meigen, Soudekia Vimmer, Vimmeria
Kratochvil, Xenopygina Frey, and Zygoneura Meigen. One new genus
and two new subgenera are described and evidence for their monophyly
is presented [Pseudolycoriella gen. nov., Allozygoneura subgen. nov.,
Diversicratyna subgen. nov.]. Five taxa are redescribed, 3 new species
are described, 4 lectotypes are designated, 14 new synonyms are proposed,
2 preoccupied names are replaced, 36 taxa are combined as new, and
the taxonomic level of two species is changed.
