Antenna dark brown, twice as long as head and thorax together, with long slender flagellomeres. Palpus yellowish, slender, as long as head. Thorax dark brown with black bristling on mesonotum and scutellum. Pleura, laterotergite and mediotergite bare. Wing clear, with costa and radial veins brown. Vein Sc ending in costa beyond level of base of Rs. Vein Sc 2 present, at just beyond half length of Sc. Costa extending 0.5 times distance from R 5 to M 1. Vein R 5 divergent from R 1 basally, then parallel with it in median portion and again divergent apically. Crossvein r-m diagonal, about two thirds length of stem of median fork. Veins setulose except for Sc, Sc 2, r-m, tb, A 1, stems of forks and bases of fork veins. Vein A 1 weak, ending just beyond level of base of posterior fork. Haltere yellow. Wing length 3.7 – 3.9 mm.

Tergite 9 (Fig. 13) narrowly articulated with gonocoxites basally; cerci short and broad, with an apical comb of thickened setae and irregularly distributed smaller thickened setae on basal half (Fig. 14). Female. Unknown.	en	Chandler, Peter J. (2009): The fungus gnats (Diptera: Bolitophilidae, Keroplatidae, Mycetophilidae) of Sardinia, with description of six new species *. Zootaxa 2318
03EA87E1FFA1127A11BBFB8D5BBD6FFB.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The ancient name of the island of Sardinia and is a noun in apposition. Chorotype. Type 6 [3.02 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. Mediterranean. Italian distribution. Sardinia only. Notes. This species belongs to the Boletina sciarina group, which also includes the other Sardinian species except B. basalis, and many others in the Palaearctic fauna. These are characterised by absence of setae on the laterotergite and the structure of the male genitalia including an undivided gonostylus. Within this group it resembles B. gripha and a few other species in having partly darkened coxae and differs from previously known species in the form of the gonocoxites and gonostylus.	en	Chandler, Peter J.

Costa (1844) described the synonym Ceroplatus affinis from the Italian mainland. A Keroplatus Bosc female from T 6, 9. VI. 1981, was undetermined to species by Norbert Caspers. This is therefore unlikely to have been K. tipuloides, which cannot be confused with any other species, so a second species of the genus may be present in Sardinia if the old record of K. tipuloides is correct.	en	Chandler, Peter J.

Fore metatarsus half length of its tibia. Abdomen with segments 1 – 5 brownish yellow, 6 – 8 dark brownish and genitalia brown; all with short dark bristling. Genitalia (Figs 9 – 10) brown with broadly fused gonocoxites which bear dense fine setae on distal margins; gonostylus broadly rounded ventrally and extended as a blunt apically broadened sclerotised process dorsally; aedeagus membranous but with sclerotised apodeme. Tergite 9 (Fig. 10) short and broad; cerci elongate, broad basally but extended as slender processes, which are approximated apically and bear a few strong setae. Female. Similar to male. Antenna probably relatively shorter and about two thirds body length but also with tips missing, comprising only 10 and 7 flagellomeres respectively. Wing brownish tinged. Costa extending 0.3 times distance from R 5 to M 1. Legs with one fore and one hind leg missing in specimen. Abdomen with tergites 1 – 4 yellow on apical half, 5 – 6 on apical third, 7 entirely brown. Ovipositor short, tergites 8 – 9 and sternite 8 brown; short slender two-segmented cerci yellowish.

03EA87E1FFBC126611BBFF0A5A206A96.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Named for the Nuragic people who were the aboriginal inhabitants of Sardinia. Chorotype. Type 6 [3.02 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. Mediterranean. Italian distribution. Sardinia only. Notes. This species belongs to a mainly Mediterranean group of Macrocera Meigen with macrotrichia on the wing membrane and more complex genital structure than is found in most species of the genus. Members of this group were described by Bechev (1991), Chandler (1994), Chandler and Gatt (2000), Martinovský (2001) and Chandler et al. (2006). Among this group it is allied to M. buskettina Chandler, 2001 from Malta and M. gemagea Bechev, 1991 from Bulgaria, which also have the cerci slender and narrowed apically, but differs in the structure of the gonostylus.	en	Chandler, Peter J.

Western Palaearctic, including North Africa, Israel and Iran. Italian distribution. Northern mainland (Dahl et al. 1995; Kurina 2008) and Sardinia. Notes. Chandler (2004 a) recorded this species from Sardinia based on the specimens from T 1 and T 2 cited above. The Sardinian material of this species mostly has three brown stripes indistinctly indicated on the mesonotum in contrast to most European material, which has the mesonotum mainly yellow without a central stripe and the lateral stripes reduced to supra-alar patches. Although resembling M. parcehirsuta Becker in that respect, no structural difference from typical M. phalerata has been found and they are concluded to be conspecific. The description of M. penicillata Costa, 1857, based on a male from near Napoli on the Italian mainland (Costa 1857), resembles more typical specimens of M. phalerata in having only the two dark patches on the thorax and is considered likely to be synonymous. It has not been recorded since its original description and has been distinguished on the male antennae being 4 times body length compared to about 3 times in M. phalerata; this is to some extent subjective depending on the degree of contraction of the abdomen and the antennae appear 4 times body length in some of the Sardinian specimens.	en	Chandler, Peter J.

Type 6 [1.12 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. Mediterranean and central European. Italian distribution. Sardinia only. Notes. Monocentrota matilei may be misplaced generically as it differs from other species of the genus in having antennae with only 13 flagellomeres and simple slender apically tapered gonostyli. Other Monocentrota Edwards species have 14 flagellomeres as in most Keroplatidae and the gonostyli are blunt ended with internal apical teeth. Bechev (1989) described this species from Bulgaria and Algeria. Papp (2003) recorded it from Hungary and provided more detailed figures of the genitalia. The Sardinian specimens agree in most respects with the figures provided by Bechev and Papp but the genitalia are also figured here (Figs 1 – 3) as they obviously differ from previous figures in the following respects: tergite 9 longer and more tapered apically and the cerci markedly smaller relative to this tergite (Fig. 3) and teeth only apparent on the apical margin of the aedeagus (Fig. 2) rather than more widely on its surface. The male Sardinian material is also described below to augment the description given by Bechev and to characterise the population. Further study may show that it is specifically distinct but study of further material from other areas would be desirable to determine if this is the case.	en	Chandler, Peter J.

Mediterranean, previously known only from Greece (Pelopponese). Italian distribution. Sardinia only. Notes. Chandler and Blasco-Zumeta (2001) included descriptions of six species of the Pyratula perpusilla Edwards, 1925 group, mostly from the Mediterranean region, only P. perpusilla itself being known from northern Europe. Among the species described in that paper these specimens are concluded to be conspecific with P. takkae pending discovery of further material. They agree well in most characters of the male genitalia (Figs 4 – 5), in particular in the structure of the apical margin of the gonocoxites, which is characteristic in species of this group. The holotype of P. takkae was unusual in this genus in having strong setae on the mediotergite. These specimens differ in lacking these setae so in the absence of other material it is not possible to say which condition is typical of the species. The holotype has the head damaged and lacks flagellomeres. The Sardinian specimens have the antenna 1.5 times as long as the thorax and the flagellomeres are about twice as long as broad. Chandler (2004 b) recorded P. perpusilla as new to Italy from Bosco della Fontana and Kurina (2008) recorded two species of this group from South Tyrol, P. alpicola Chandler, 2001 (also known from Czech Republic, the Swiss Alps and Andorra) and P. oracula Chandler, 1994 (mainly Mediterranean but also occurring in Czech Republic and Switzerland). The finding of this species in Sardinia is thus of considerable interest, identifying Italy as having the richest known fauna of this genus.	en	Chandler, Peter J.

03EA87E1FF81125A11BBFEC55D766F5D.taxon	etymology	Etymology. By analogy to S. modesta Zaitzev, 1982 which is a member of the S. lutea Macquart, 1826 group without teeth developed on the apodeme and gonocoxites, while here they are weakly developed. Chorotype. Type 6 [3.02 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. Mediterranean. Italian distribution. Sardinia only. Notes. This species belongs to the Sciophila lutea group, of which there are several species in the Mediterranean region (Caspers 1991; Chandler 1994; Chandler & Gatt 2000; Chandler & Blasco-Zumeta 2001; Chandler et al. 2006; Bechev & Koç 2006). No species of this group had yet been confirmed from Italy but unidentified yellow females were reported from Bosco della Fontana (Chandler 2004 a) and S. corlutea Chandler, 2001 occurs in Corsica and other parts of western Europe. Bechev and Koç (2006), who described two new species from Turkey, provided a key to the species of this group. In their key S. immodesta runs to couplet 3 but differs from both alternatives in that there is a single small tooth on the dorsal gonocoxal lobe. Among known species it resembles S. corlutea in the form of the aedeagal apodeme except that the outer tooth is more divergent and laterally directed and the tooth on the gonocoxal lobe is absent in S. corlutea. It also differs in darker body coloration, but this may be infraspecific variation as found in some other species of the group. Sciophila spp. ♀ (lutea Macquart, 1826 group)	en	Chandler, Peter J.

Unknown but most British records of this species are from indoors and it has been suggested that it might be associated with fungi on household timbers, which may also account for its unusual distribution. The Sardinian specimen was collected at Valle Oridda, in a habitat characterized by secondary garrigue-type vegetation. The Iceland specimen was collected in a birch wood. Notes. Chandler (2001) recognised that this species was distinct from S. hirta Meigen, 1818 with which it had been synonymised by Zaitzev (1982).	en	Chandler, Peter J.

The lateral part of the gonostylus is identical with Gagné’s fig. 71 but tergites 9 – 10 are most similar to T. concinna (Gagné’s fig 76). Further, the aedeagal projections in this specimen are dorsoventrally hooked (visible in lateral view).

Aedeagus (Fig. 17) short and broad. Tergite 9 (Fig. 18) short and broad; cerci a little more elongate, together shorter than gonocoxites. Female. Similar to male. Abdomen with bases of tergites 2 – 5 narrowly yellow, interrupted on midline on 3 – 4, no more than a third of length and not broadened laterally, very narrow on 5. Ovipositor brown, with short cerci. Wing length of female 2.5 mm. Chorotype. Type 1 [1.01 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. Holarctic. Italian distribution. Sardinia only. Notes. Trichonta pulchra was described from one male from Canada and four British males, the latter being in the author’s collection and these having posterior setae on the hind tibia, although some more recent British material has these setae sparse or absent. It has only otherwise been recorded from the Czech Republic (Ševčík 2001) and Hungary (Ševčík & Papp 2002). Because they lack posterior setae on the hind tibia the Sardinian specimens run to couplet 57 in the key by Gagné (1981), where they agree with T. vitta (Meigen, 1830) in having Sc ending free but have the dorsal part of the gonostylus short. The specimens are also described and figured here because fig. 119 of Gagné (1981) shows the gonocoxites as having a simple margin and it is not apparent that this species has a medial excavation of the gonocoxites resembling that in T. patens Johannsen, 1912. However, all parts of the gonostylus differ in structure from that species.	en	Chandler, Peter J.

03EA87E1FF99124211BBFB8D5C286FD1.taxon	etymology	Etymology. An early name for the island of Sardinia and is a noun in apposition. Chorotype. Type 6 [3.02 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. Mediterranean. Italian distribution. Sardinia only. Notes. This species resembles T. falcata in genital structure but has the gonostylus larger relative to the gonocoxites and differs in several other respects such as lacking the hind coxal seta and absence of antero- and posteroventral setae on the hind tibia. In the key by Gagné (1981) it runs to couplet 64 but differs from both alternatives in having r-m and stem of median fork subequal while vein A 1 is asetose.	en	Chandler, Peter J.

03EA87E1FFBA126711BBFF0A59116887.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is named for my friend Julie Locke to acknowledge her help and encouragement during the preparation of this paper. Chorotype. Type 6 [3.02 of Vigna Taglianti et al. (1999)]. Mediterranean. Italian distribution. Sardinia only. Notes. Evenhuis (2006) listed 12 species of Urytalpa Edwards worldwide. Bechev and Koç (2008) added a new species from Turkey and transferred Platyura maritima Becker, 1907, described from Tunisia, to the genus. They provided a key to seven west Palaearctic species, in which U. juliae runs to U. nussbaumi Chandler, 1994 described from Israel. Kjaerandsen et al. (2009) described a new species from Sweden and transferred a Nearctic species to this genus, increasing the known world fauna to 16. They included a key to males of 14 species, compiled from the literature and principally using genital characters; U. juliae runs in this key to the Japanese species U. yoshidai Uesugi, 2004. Although Urytalpa is a relatively small genus, there is some variation in genital structure and Kjaerandsen et al. (2009) remarked on the need for a revision of this and allied genera. Chandler (1994) and Uesugi (2004) respectively commented on similarities in genital structure of U. nussbaumi and U. yoshidai to Asindulum Latreille. The latter genus, revised by Matile (1975), is typified by an elongate proboscis but has other characters close to Urytalpa and it is possible that this group of Urytalpa is more allied to that genus. Urytalpa juliae resembles U. nussbaumi and U. yoshidai in having the gonocoxites broadly separated ventrally and connected only by a membrane and in the form of the gonostyli, which are slender and outwardly curved to a point apically. Other Palaearctic species of the genus have the gonocoxites narrowly to broadly fused basally. It differs from U. nussbaumi in the gonocoxites not being tapered on the apical half, the gonostyli relatively larger and tergite 9 broad medially where it is constricted in U. nussbaumi. In these respects it resembles U. yoshidai but that species differs in having a longer proboscis (at least half the height of head while it is only about a quarter of head height in U. juliae), in the lateral margins of the gonocoxites extending beyond the tips of the gonostyli and in having tergite 9 extended by a digitiform process on each lateral margin.	en	Chandler, Peter J.
