03E6617E9A35FFD6FF2E714195C8FF20.taxon	description	Anisopodids are often called ‘ window gnats’ and are associated with humid habitats such as forests. Their immatures are saprophagous and are often found in decaying or fermenting organic matter, primarily of plant origin. However, some species may exploit animal carcasses or dung (Hancock 2017).	en	Oliveira, Sarah S., Afiune, Giovana P.

03E6617E9A35FFD6FC817574940CFA71.taxon	description	Bibionids are popularly known as march flies because of their emergence in the spring in the northern hemisphere. They are also referred to as lovebugs because of their habit of flying in copula, especially members of Plecia Wiedemann, 1828 (Fitzgerald 2004). The immature stages and biology of Neotropical Bibionidae are poorly known (Fitzgerald 2009). Immature stages of Plecia cf. collaris, P. nearctica Hardy, 1940, and P. plagiata (Wiedemann, 1824) are known, described (Kuitert 1975, Pinto and Amorim 1996). Additionally, the reproductive behavior of Dilophus sayi (Hardy, 1959) and P. nearctica were discussed (Thornhill 1976, Matthews and Matthews 1978). Lastly, the pollination behavior of D. espeletiae Sturm, 1990 was discussed (Sturm 1990). Bibionidae is considered a monophyletic group by most authors, but the inclusion of the Holarctic genus Hesperinus Walker, 1848 in the family is still controversial (Pinto and Amorim 2000, Fitzgerald 2004, Papp 2010).	en	Oliveira, Sarah S., Afiune, Giovana P.

03E6617E9A33FFD0FF2E7711913BF984.taxon	description	The biology of these gnats is poorly known; the limited knowledge available suggests that they are common in forest habitats (Bechev and Chandler 2011). The larvae of these gnats are associated with decaying wood and develop within a mucous tube under rotting logs. They primarily feed on the hymenium of higher fungi (Hutson et al. 1980, Yakovlev 1994, Zaitzev 1994).	en	Oliveira, Sarah S., Afiune, Giovana P.

03E6617E9A33FFD0FC8176D895CBFAF5.taxon	description	The knowledge about the biology of the group is still poor, and immature stages are unknown for most genera. The larval stage of some genera can be predatory, feeding on small invertebrates, while others are mycophagous, feeding on fungal spores (Skuse 1888, Matile 1997, Evenhuis 2006, Falaschi et al. 2019 a). Adults are often found in damp places with low light, such as the entrance to caves and cavities of rotten trunks near fungi or rocks (Matile 1997, Evenhuis 2006, Falaschi 2014, 2016 c). One species in Brazil, Neoceroplatus betaryensis Falaschi, Johnson & Stevani, 2019 is known to have blue bioluminescence (Falaschi et al. 2019 a, 2019 b).	en	Oliveira, Sarah S., Afiune, Giovana P.

03E6617E9A33FFD1FC81712692C6FC87.taxon	description	Although their biology is poorly known, the lygistorrhinids are flower visitors, with elongated mouthparts being used for feeding on nectar and pollen being recorded attached to their abdomen (Bertone 2018). The immature stages and larval habitat are unknown so far (Oliveira and Amorim 2012 a, Blagoderov and Pollet 2020). Lygistorrhinidae is clearly monophyletic and its position found recent controversies in the literature (see above). A phylogenetic study of the genus Lygistorrhina is still pending, and the subgenus L. (Lygistorrhina) Skuse, 1890 may not represent a monophyletic group, L. (Probolaeus) Williston, 1896 probably being a small subclade within the genus (Oliveira and Amorim 2012 a). For the time being, we abandon L. (Probolaeus) as a subgenus.	en	Oliveira, Sarah S., Afiune, Giovana P. S., Schelesky-Prado, Daniel de C., Maia, Valéria C., Amorim, Dalton de S., Falaschi, Rafaela L.

03E6617E9A32FFD1FF2672F69407FB77.taxon	description	The biology of rangomaramids remains largely unknown, and there is a lack of information regarding their immature stages (Amorim and Falaschi 2012). The evolutionary relationships among rangomaramids are still a topic of discussion. The connection of the Rangomarama Jaschhof & Didham, 2002, the Ohakuneinae, the Chiletrichinae and the Heterotrichinae in a clade was one of the most parsimonious solutions for the information available in Amorim and Rindal (2007), but a more extensive analysis of the relationships among Sciaroidea families is desirable. The monophyly of each of these four subfamilies of Rangomaramidae is well-founded.	en	Oliveira, Sarah S., Afiune, Giovana P.

03E6617E9A32FFD2FC9870AC935DFD4C.taxon	description	Brief perceptions of Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls in the Brazilian fauna An overall view of the species-richness of the Bibionomorpha families in Brazil is summarized in Table 1 and a comparison between the Brazilian known diversity and the Neotropical general diversity of these families is summarized in Table 2. The distributional data of these families resulted in maps based on a political division by states, including the Federal District (Fig. 1 A-K) and on biomes for Bibionomorpha, in general, and Bibionidae, Cecidomyiidae, Lygistorrhinidae, Mycetophilidae, and Sciaridae (Fig. 2 A-F).	en	Oliveira, Sarah S., Afiune, Giovana P.
