Mycomyinae is a subfamily of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae. As of 2025, it consists of 10 genera and over 600 species.[1][2]
Diagnosis
[edit]This subfamily can be separated from the other mycetophiloid families and subfamilies based on the following characteristics: The veins of M and Cu fork separate to wing base, fine tibial setae in regular rows, middle ocellus absent, empodia absent, and wing membrane without macrotrichia.[3]
The pupa is immobile with distinctly strengthened integument and pedothecae tightly bound to the body.[3]
Genera
[edit]The 10 genera are as follows:[4]
- Dinempheria Matile, 1979
- Echinopodium Freeman, 1951
- Moriniola Matile, 1976
- Mycoleia Väisänen, 1984
- Mycomya Rondani, 1856
- Mycomyiella Matile, 1973
- Neoempheria Osten Sacken, 1878
- Parempheriella Matile 1974
- Syndocosia Speiser, 1923
- Viridivora Matile, 1972
In 2025, the genus Vecella was determined to be a junior synonym of Parempheriella and is therefore not included in the list above.[2]
