The North American fauna of Black Fungus Gnats (Diptera: Sciaroidea: Sciaridae) currently comprises
25 genera and 166 species (including 8 species incertae sedis). 82 species are distributed only
in the Nearctic and 67 species in the Holarctic, 1 species in the Holarctic/Neotropical Regions and
8 species in North and Central America including the Caribbean islands. 223 species-group names
have been applied to taxa occurring in North America (north of Mexico). These were described or
have been reported from North America (USA and Canada) since 1827. For these names, 42 new
species-group combinations, 60 new species-group synonyms, and one new genus-group synonym
are here proposed. Two species remain unplaced but have been redescribed and figured, whereas
six species-group names cannot be interpreted (one described by CURRAN, three by FITCH, one
by KIEFFER, one by WALKER). Seven species-group names from SAY are considered to be nomina
dubia. Twelve species-group names described or reported from Greenland have been excluded
from this revision (section 10).

Rhynchoheterotricha chandleri sp. n. is described from South Africa. It differs from the earlier known R. stuckenbergae Freeman by having a setose wing membrane and a proboscis that is only about half the height of the head rather than about three times as long as the head. Through a detailed morphological analysis, the genus is recharacterized. The previously unknown female morphology is presented.

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. Five new species from the Oriental region are described: Eumanota hilleviae spec. nov., E. kambaiti spec. nov., Paramanota awanensis spec. nov., P. peninsulae spec. nov. and P. sumatrana spec. nov.

In contrast to other Sciaridae, interspecific morphological variation is greater for the females compared to the males. Based on a parsimony analysis of sixty-four morphological characters, Pnyxiopalpus is monophyletic, and its sister group appears to be Spathobdella Frey + {[Peyerimhoffia Kieffer + (Faratsiho Paulian + Pnyxia Johannsen)] + [Hyperlasion Schmitz + (Hermapterosciara Mohrig \& Mamaev + Parapnyxia Mohrig \& Mamaev)]}. According to the most parsimonious solution, the monophyly of Hyperlasion, Lycoriella Frey and Plastosciara Berg in their current sense is questioned.

Two cladistic analyses of seventy-eight morphological characters from adults were made. One analysis, with forty-one extant taxa in the ingroup and the other, with the addition of twelve fossil taxa, both produced two most parsimonious cladograms. The phylogenetic hypotheses obtained differed from each other, and in part also to a great extent from previous ones although most of the traditionally recognized groups appeared monophyletic, including the speciose Cecidomyiidae and Sciaridae. The Cecidomyiidae (fossil analysis) or the Keroplatidae-Ditomyiidae (extant analysis) appeared as the sister-group of the rest of the Sciaroidea. Following on from these analyses, we propose emending the current Sciaridae to include the following subfamilies: Archizelmirinae[dagger] stat. n., Rangomarammae stat. n., Sciarinae, Sciarosominae subfam. n. and Sciarotrichinae subfam. n. A new taxon from Namibia, Sciarotricha biloba gen. n., sp. n. is described, and, according to the phylogenetic analysis, is placed in the Sciaridae (Sciarotrichinae).
