New records of Sciarosoma nigriclava (Strobl, 1898) are presented from Engerdal in Hedmark and Gargialia outside Alta in Finnmark. This unique species, belonging to the enigmatic Heterotricha-group still unplaced in family, has not been recorded in Norway since the genus and species was described under the name Sciarosoma borealis Chandler, 2002; at the time only a single male from \Østmarka Nature Reserve in Akershus was reported. All four specimens of our new material were successfully DNA barcoded and aligned with a single additional sequence of the species available on The Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD), mined from GenBank. The assigned Barcode Index Number (BIN) for the species displays a considerable distance of some 15\% to any other Diptera on BOLD, underscoring the isolated phylogenetic position of the species among the Sciaroidea. Both the new collecting sites are situated within or nearby old-growth pine and spruce forests, supporting the view that the species may serve as an indicator of pristine coniferous forest in the boreal Taiga.

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 first modern Swedish checklist of fungus gnats of the families Bolitophilidae, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae is presented. The checklist results from a comprehensive literature research as well as treatment of a considerable determined and undetermined material from Swedish museum collections and recent material from several sources. To get better grounds for judging many old and doubtful records from Sweden, a nearly complete review of fungus gnats from the J. W. Zetterstedt collection at the Museum of Zoology in Lund has been undertaken and identifications corrected where needed. In order to preserve nomenclatural stability three species names are reinstated, all with priority over junior synonyms, viz. Orfelia lugubris (Zetterstedt, 1851) comb. n. = Orfelia tristis (Lundstr\öm, 1911) syn. n., Ectrepesthoneura ovata Ostroverkhova, 1977 = Ectrepesthoneura bucera Plassmann, 1980 syn. n., and Dynatosoma thoracicum (Zetterstedt, 1838) sens. auct. nec Zaitzev = Dynatosoma norwegiense Zaitzev \& \Økland, 1994 syn. n. We further find the holotype of Mycetophila grisea Zetterstedt, 1852 to be identical to Mycetophila perpallida Chandler, 1993, but retain Mycetophila perpallida pending a review of other possible synonyms with precedence. Ectrepesthoneura pubescens (Zetterstedt, 1860) is found to be a synonym of Ectrepesthoneura unifurcata (Zetterstedt, 1860) comb. n. syn. n. where the first name is retained as valid due to page priority. Four names described by Zetterstedt remain nom. dub., viz.: Mycomya diluta (Zetterstedt, 1860), Mycomya (Mycomya) notata (Zetterstedt, 1860), Brevicornu fusculum (Zetterstedt, 1838), and Brevicornu obscurellum (Zetterstedt, 1838) comb. n. Stigmatomeria obscura (Winnertz, 1863) sp. restit. is found to be a distinct species separate from Stigmatomeria crassicornis (Stannius, 1831). New combinations are suggested for Exechia praedita Plassmann, 1976 = Exechiopsis (Xenexechia) praedita (Plassmann, 1976) comb. n., and for Rhymosia pectinacea Ostroverkhova, 1979 = Pseudexechia pectinacea (Ostroverkhova, 1979) comb. n. Having removed 17 published species names with doubtful or wrong records (listed at the end) we find that the published sources comprise altogether 585 species. 137 species are reported for the first time in Sweden, bringing the total up to 722. Additional 36 species considered to be new to science are mentioned for completeness, but will be further presented and described elsewhere. Hence, at present the known fauna (including claimed undescribed species) comprises 758 species in 83 genera; 25 species of the family Bolitophilidae, 5 of the family Diadocidiidae, 3 of the family Ditomyiidae, 45 of the family Keroplatidae, 679 of the family Mycetophilidae and 1 in the unplaced genus Sciarosoma Chandler. For each species a full account of published Swedish sources with pagination, all synonyms used in Sweden and the currently known distribution in the Swedish provinces as well as the known world distribution is given. The Swedish species of fungus gnats are generally very widespread: 47\% being widespread in Europe, 43\% being distributed in the Eastern Palaearctic Region, and 25\% having a Holarctic distribution. We find significantly higher species richness in the boreal forests of northern Sweden, but only 3\% of the species so far described are known only from the Nordic biogeographical region.

Pterogymnus includes a single species from the Chilean Region. Nine genera (seven of them newly described) are recognised in the Heterotricha Group, which occurs in all zoogeographic Regions except the Nearctic and includes 17 living species, three from Eocene amber and probably Mangas exilis Kovalev from Cretaceous amber. These genera have sometimes been placed in Sciaridae or Diadocidiidae, but reassessment of their characters shows that they cannot belong to any currently recognised families of extant Sciaroidea. Both groups appear closer to Mesozoic forms presently assigned respectively to Antefungivoridae or subfamily Mangasinae of Bolitophilidae (Heterotricha Group) and Mesosciophilidae (Pterogymnus). These groups are thus considered to belong to the basal stock from which Mycetophilidae, Sciaridae and possibly some other modern families are derived.

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.

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.

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.

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.
