Background
Fungus gnats (Sciaroidea) are a globally species rich group of lower Diptera. In Europe, Fennoscandian peninsula in particular holds a notable diversity, ca. 1000 species, of which 10 \% are still unnamed. Fungus gnats are predominantly terrestrial insects, but some species dwell in wetland habitats.
New information
Eight new fungus gnat species, belonging to the families Keroplatidae (Orfelia boreoalpina Salmela sp.n.) and Mycetophilidae (Sciophila holopaineni Salmela sp.n., S. curvata Salmela sp.n., Boletina sasakawai Salmela \& Kolcsár sp.n., B. norokorpii Salmela \& Kolcsár sp.n., Phronia sompio Salmela sp.n., P. reducta Salmela sp.n., P. prolongata Salmela sp.n.), are described. Four of the species are known from Fennoscandia only whilst two are supposed to have boreo-alpine disjunct ranges, i.e. having populations in Fennoscandia and the Central European Alps. One of the species probably has a boreal\ range (Finnish Lapland and Central Siberia). Type material of Boletina curta Sasakawa \& Kimura from Japan was found to consist of two species, and a further species close to these taxa is described from Finland. Phronia elegantula Hackman is redescribed and reported for the first time from Norway. DNA barcodes are provided for the first time for five species.

The following\  five species are described as new: Manota clava sp. n. (Colombia), Manota multilobata sp. n. (Colombia), Manota perplexa sp. n. (Costa Rica), Manota setilobata sp. n. (Colombia) and Manota subaristata sp. n. (Colombia). In addition, new records for the following 11 species are presented: Manota acuminata Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota arenalensis Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota corcovado Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota costaricensis Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota diversiseta Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Colombia, Brazilian Amazonia, Costa Rica), Manota minutula Hippa, Kurina \& Sääksjärvi, 2017 (Brazilian Amazonia), Manota multisetosa Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica), Manota parva Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Colombia, Costa Rica), Manota pisinna Hippa \& Kurina, 2013 (Brazilian Amazonia), Manota spinosa Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Colombia) and Manota squamulata Jaschhof \& Hippa, 2005 (Costa Rica). Distribution patterns include (1) species known only locally in Costa Rica or Colombia, (2) distributions connecting Central America to west Andes lowlands, and (3) north-west Neotropical components, extending from Central America to Brazilian Amazonia.\  The possible biogeographical and taxonomical context of Manota species with a widespread distribution is considered.

Three new species of Phthinia Winnertz are described; P. amorimi n. sp. (Chile), P. oliveirae n. sp. (Chile), and P. nepal- ensis n. sp. (Nepal). Based on male terminalia, P. amorimi shows greater affinity to species previously described from Brazil whereas P. oliveirae is more similar to other Chilean species. Phthinia nepalensis is the first species of the genus described from the Oriental region. Distribution records for other Neotropical species are also given.

New records of Cecidomyiidae, Dixidae and Mycetophilidae (Diptera) are presented from various localities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Three species of Cecidomyiidae, four species of Dixidae and two species of Mycetophilidae are new to the Czech Republic. One species of Cecidomyiidae, two species of Dixidae and two species of Mycetophilidae are new to Slovakia. Problems with the interpretation of the species Dixella nigra (Staeger, 1840) and Dixella bankowskae (Vaillant, 1969) are also commented on.

A new species of Keroplatidae (Diptera: Sciaroidea), Macrocera rohaceki sp. nov., is described from the island of Mallorca (Spain). A further remarkable species, Paleoplatyura johnsoni Johannsen, 1910, hitherto only known from the Nearctic Region, is recorded from Sicily (Italy). New records of Isoneuromyia czernyi (Strobl, 1909) and I. pseudochracea (Landrock, 1925) from Slovakia are provided, including figures of the male terminalia. Their relationships to the widely distributed European species, I. semirufa (Meigen, 1818), are reconstructed using three mitochondrial DNA markers (12S, COI, cytb). A key to the European species of Isoneuromyia Brunetti, 1912 is also provided.

The first data on the Fungus gnats fauna of Chukotka are presented. 170 species belonging to the fami- lies Bolitophilidae, Diadocidiidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae were reported during two field seasons in 2013 and 2014 in the lower course of the Anadyr River. Eight species are reported from Russia for the first time, two species are new for the Palaearctic and 27 species were previously unknown in the eastern part of the Palaearctic; 28 species are most probably undescribed taxa. Widely distributed circumpolar and transpalaearctic species dominate the fauna, but there is also considerable number of species previously known only from northern Europe. Sixteen pre- sumably undescribed species of the subfamilies Sciophilinae, Gnoristinae and Mycetophilinae may be tentatively considered as Chukotka endemics.

One new genus and three new species of Lygistorrhinidae in early Eocene Cambay amber from India are described, which significantly increases our knowledge about this group in the Eocene. Lygistorrhina indica n. sp. is the oldest fossil known from this extant genus. Indorrhina sahnii n. gen. et sp. shows morphological similarities to each of the two extant genera Lygistorrhina and Asiorrhina. Palaeognoriste orientale is the third species known from a group that has only been recorded from Eocene Baltic amber before. The latter finding reveals faunal links between Cambay amber and the probably slightly younger Baltic amber, adding further evidence that faunal exchange between Europe/Asia and India took place before the formation of Cambay amber.
