The genus Cabamofa, previously containing only C. mira from Costa Rica (Jaschhof 2005), is shown here to have a second species in Thailand, which is described and named C. orientalis\ sp. nov. The new species is known from a single male collected by the TIGER Project (Thailand Inventory Group for Entomological Research), a mass-sampling program to\  inventory\  insect\  diversity\  in\  Southeast\  Asia\  (Plant\  et\  al.\  2011;\  http://sharkeylab.org/tiger,\  accessed\  14\  December\  2018). As the circumstances of finding indicate, C. orientalis is a decidedly rare species, an attribute applying to perhaps one third of all tropical arthropods (Lim et al. 2012) and most Sciaroidea incertae sedis (Jaschhof 2017), including the Costa Rican C. mira. The latter species was originally described from two females, which were Malaise trapped in 2003 in lowland rain forest (Jaschhof 2005), while a conspecific male, a museum specimen collected in 1922 in an unknown habitat, was detected and described subsequently (Amorim \& Rindal 2007). Cabamofa is one of nearly 20 sciaroid genera\  whose\  family\  affiliation\  has\  not\  yet\  been\  resolved\  (Jaschhof\  2017),\  but\  there\  is\  morphological\  evidence\  suggesting its close affinity to other Sciaroidea incertae sedis, such as Rogambara Jaschhof, 2005, Ohakunea Tonnoir \& Edwards,\  1927,\  and\  Colonomyia\  Colless,\  1963.\  These\  four\  genera\  together\  form\  the\  Ohakunea\  group\  of\  Jaschhof\  (2005), or the Ohakuneinae (as a subfamily of the broadly conceived family Rangomaramidae) of Amorim \& Rindal (2007). Recent molecular work (\Šev{\v c}\ík et al. 2016, Kasp{\v r}\ák et al. 2019) suggests a more distant phylogenetic position of Ohakunea to other Sciaroidea incertae sedis. The obvious conflict here between morphological and molecular evidence is stimulating fresh interest in the \“incertae sedis issue\”, as proven by the present contribution. The morphology of C. orientalis\  provides\  no\  new\  clues\  as\  to\  the\  systematic\  position\  of\  Cabamofa,\  or\  the\  Ohakunea\  group,\  but\  reveals\  characters that were previously not known to occur in Cabamofa. The delimitation of this genus is briefly reviewed below. Our finding of C. orientalis extends the geographic distribution of Cabamofa from the New World to the Old World (Oriental) tropics, which consorts with the disjunct (Neotropical-Australasian) areas found in both Colonomyia and Ohakunea. Morphological terminology used here is in accordance with that by Cumming \& Wood (2017).

The genus Colonomyia Colless contains six species in the Australasian and Neotropical Regions. Several recognized synapomorphies leave no doubt that Colonomyia is a monophyletic group, with the Australasian species more closely related to one another than to the Neotropical species. On arguments derived from the wing venation, Colonomyia is hypothesized to be the sister-group of the genus Ohakunea Edwards, both together representing a lineage distinct from the family-level taxa currently recognized in the Sciaroidea. Colonomyia borea sp. n. from Costa Rica and C. rakelae sp. n. from Papua New Guinea are described. Recognition of these new species extends the distribution of the genus Colonomyia into the tropical zone and the northern hemisphere.

The cladistic analysis of 60 morphological characters from the adults of 27 (extant) or 29 (extant and fossil) ingroup species and one outgroup species produced three shortest cladograms. In the analysis excluding the fossils, the most parsimonious solution confirmed the monophyly of the Manotinae sensu TUOMIKOSKI. In the cladograms obtained by analysing the extant and fossil taxa together, one fossil species, Alavamanota burmitina BLAGODEROV \& GRIMALDI, appeared as the sister-group of Manota WILLISTON, whereas the other fossil, Alavamanota hispanica BLAGODEROV \& ARILLO, was placed outside the Manotinae clade. In both analyses, the genus Procycloneura ENDERLEIN, traditionally classified in the Leiini, appeared as the sister-group of the Manotinae. Unlike the Manotinae, the genera of the Leiini sensu EDWARDS analysed here did not form a monophyletic group. The Leiini appear to be highly polyphyletic, and our results thus confirm the doubts of many previous authors concerning the monophyly of this tribe.

Sturkomyia inexpecta gen. et spec. nov. from New Zealand is described and illustrated, and its systematic position is analyzed and discussed. Starkomyia appears to be another recent southern hemisphere representative of the enigmatic sciaroids that cannot be assigned to any of the recognized family-group taxa of the Sciaroidea. It is hypothesized to be the sister-group of a Glade including the Heterotricha and Ohakunea groups, Sciaridae, Rangomaramidae and Cecidomyiidae. The significance of particular wing veins for the evaluation of phylogenetic relationships within the Sciaroidea is critically discussed.

Rangomaramidae, a new family of Diptera-Bibionomorpha, is described from New Zealand, containing a single new genus, Rangomarama, with five new species: R. edwardsi, humboldti, leopoldinae, matilei, and tonnoiri. Adult morphology of Rangomaramidae (\&$\#$39;long-winged fungus gnats\&$\#$39;) is described and information given on their distribution and biology. Rangomaramidae is hypothesized to be the sister group to the Cecidomyiidae. The origin and evolution of Rangomaramidae are discussed in the context of previous hypotheses on the phylogenetic relationships within the Sciaroidea. Present data suggest that the few modern species of Rangomaramidae described here represent a relict of a lineage of sciaroid Diptera that evolved in Gondwana during the Jurassic period.

The Heterotricha group sensu CHANDLER has five species in New Zealand. Apart from Anisotricha novaezealandiae (TONNOIR), these are Anisotricha similis sp. n. and, classified in a new genus, Insulatricha gen. n., the species I. catrinae sp. n., I. chandleri sp. n. and I. hippai sp. n. This makes New Zealand a recent distribution centre of the Heterotricha group. Both Anisotricha and Insulatricha belong to the core of the possibly not monophyletic group, but are not sister taxa. The genus Insulatricha appears to be most closely related to he genus Chiletricha CHANDLER distributed in the southern Neotropics, while the closer relationship of Anisotricha remains unresolved for the time being.
