The species is characterized by having macrotrichia on y and all posterior wing veins, very long flagellomeres, a small gonostylus with an apical tooth and 6 – 7 spines, 2 – 3 above and 4 below in the distal half. * The species is dedicated to Dr Ann J. Stocker, who since 1972 has been working on genetic aspects of the Sciaridae, primarily on the genus Rhynchosciara. Ann collected extensively in Australia during the 1970 ’ s at many different sites including on the Atherton Table Lands, in the Melbourne region and at Wilsons Promontory. She also went on collecting trips with Ben Loudon when he worked at the Biological and Chemical Research Institute (BCRI) of the New South Wales Department of Agriculture, Rydalmere. Ann currently holds an honorary position in Ary Hoffmann’s lab at the University of Melbourne where she works on chromosome evolution among a number of Scaptodrosophila (Drosophilidae) species.	en	Mohrig, Werner, Kauschke, Ellen, Broadley, Adam (2018): New black fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaridae) from Eastern Australia.

03A487A5FFF0FF92FF74FC48FC83F80F.taxon	discussion	Comments. The species is characterized by having two macrosetae on the ventral apex of the gonocoxites, like B. pernitida (Skuse). The gonostylus is large, prolonged and at the end slightly inwardly curved. The shape of the gonostylus is variable depending on the position of the hypopygium on the slide. The hypopygium is very similar to B. pernitida (Skuse). The main difference is that B. conjuncta has much shorter flagellomeres.	en	Mohrig, Werner, Kauschke, Ellen, Broadley, Adam (2018): New black fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaridae) from Eastern Australia.

03A487A5FFE9FF89FF74FA25FEA6FE6A.taxon	discussion	Comments. Cratyna (Pey.) vagabunda was temporarily united with species of the Corynoptera crassistylata group in a newly established genus Peyerimhoffia based on convergent structures of the gonostylus (Vilkamaa & Hippa 2005; Shi et al. 2014). However, Cratyna vagabunda has nothing to do with species of the Corynoptera crassistylata group. Cratyna vagabunda belongs without doubt to the genus Cratyna mainly by having a 1 - segmented palpus and a non-differentiated tibial organ. A recent molecular phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the species Peyerimhoffia vagabunda is related to species of Cratyna s. str. and Spathobdella (Shin et al. 2013). From the seven species described by Shi et al. only Cratyna hamata (Shi & Huang) comb. n. and Cratyna obesa (Shi & Huang) comb. n. belong to the subgenus Peyerimhoffia. The other five species are newly combined in the genus Corynoptera, crassistylata group [C. sparsula (Shi & Huang) comb. n., C. brachypoda * (Shi & Huang) comb. n., C. yunnana (Shi & Huang) comb. n., C. shennongjiana (Shi & Huang) comb. n. and in Corynoptera s. str. [Corynoptera longiprojecta (Shi & Huang) comb. n.]. Corynoptera longiprojecta (Shi & Huang) is identical in all details with Corynoptera diversicalcaria Mohrig, 2004 from Papua New Guinea and a junior synonym to the latter.	en	Mohrig, Werner, Kauschke, Ellen, Broadley, Adam (2018): New black fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaridae) from Eastern Australia.

03A487A5FFEBFF87FF74F96DFDDEFE15.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The complicated search for the actual name of the genus was finalised by the revision of South American genera by Mohrig & Menzel (2014). Most of the species are characterized by the depigmentation of the last 2 – 3 flagellomeres in one or both sexes. The head is in some species distinctly higher than long (prolonged mouth parts), the scutum has very short and sparse hairs, M 1 is generally arched by differing degrees (M-fork in some species vase-like), the posterior wing veins are sometimes with macrotrichia, the membrane between sternites and tergites is mostly darkly pigmented, the fore tibia has a wide Bradysia - like comb, the claws have fine teeth and the gonostylus has an apical tooth and a different number of spines at the base of the tooth or on the inner side of the gonostylus. The genus is known from Central and South America. The report from Australia is within the Sciaridae the first hint of a faunistic exchange through the Gondwanan Bridge and the existence of sister groups in the continents of the southern hemisphere.	en	Mohrig, Werner, Kauschke, Ellen, Broadley, Adam (2018): New black fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaridae) from Eastern Australia.

03A487A5FFDCFFBEFF74FF67FD3BFBB6.taxon	discussion	Comments. This large and dark species is characterized by the whitish body hair, dense hairs at the basal third of the ventral inner side of the gonocoxites, a strong gonostylus with dense hairs at the apex, a long subapical whiplash hair and no spines among the hairs at the apex. It is similar to Psl. capillosa Vilkamaa, Hippa & Mohrig. It differs by having longer flagellomeres, whitish body hairs, a shorter and more robust gonostylus, different shape of the tibial organ and a longer y.	en	Mohrig, Werner, Kauschke, Ellen, Broadley, Adam (2018): New black fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaridae) from Eastern Australia.
