Abstract:

A new genus and a new species, Cowanomyia hillaryi gen. et sp. n., of Gnoristini (Mycetophilidae: Sciophilinae) is described from New Zealand. A striking feature of Cowanomyia is the one-branched media in combination with the furcate anterior cubitus, which is a pattern found among Mycetophilidae only in Adicroneura. Cowanomyia and Adicroneura are evidently not closely related. The position of Cowanomyia among world Gnoristini, as presently known, remains unresolved for the time being.
