            <p> Anisopodidae</p>
            <p> This family encompasses eight extant genera worldwide, with over 160 described species (Hancock and Amorim 2009, Hancock 2017, González et al. 2019). The Neotropical fauna of  Anisopodidae is composed of 65 described species within six genera:  Carreraia Corrêa, 1947 ,  Sylvicola Harris, 1780 ,  Olbiogaster Osten Sacken, 1886 ,  Lobogaster Philippi, 1865 , and  Mycetobia Meigen, 1818 . Among these genera,  Carreraia (one species),  Olbiogaster (15 species), and  Sylvicola (seven species) have been recorded for Brazil (Falaschi et al. 2016b, Falaschi and Oliveira 2024). </p>
            <p>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).</p>

            <p> Bibionidae</p>
            <p>A family with approximately 700 extant species distributed in eight genera (Pinto and Amorim 2000, Fitzgerald 2004, Fitzgerald et al. 2020). In the Neotropical region, 192 species distributed in six genera are known (Fitzgerald 1997, 2004, 2021a, 2021b). The South American and the worldwide fauna were inventoried in Hunter’s (1900) and Kertész’s (1902) catalogs, respectively. Hardy (1953) inventoried the fauna of Argentina and Hardy’s catalogs (1959, 1966) covered the Neotropical fauna. More recently, the fauna of Nicaragua, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, and Chile were addressed respectively by Maes (1990), Fitzgerald (2000, 2023), Falaschi et al. (2016a), and Fitzgerald et al. (2020). Brazil has 49 described species, and almost half of them (24) were described in the 1930s and 1940s (Falaschi and Schelesky-Prado 2024). Only nine species have been described since Hardy’s catalog (1966): one in the 1980s, five in the 1990s, and only three from the 2000s onwards (Falaschi and Schelesky-Prado 2024).</p>
            <p> 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). </p>

            <p> Cecidomyiidae</p>
            <p> Cecidomyiidae is one of the most speciose families of  Diptera , with more than 6,600 species described in 832 genera (Gagné and Jaschhof 2021). Part of the cecidomyiids is popularly known as “gall midges”, with gall-inducer larvae. The family also includes mycetophagous, predaceous, and free-living phytophagous larvae. The family is monophyletic, and the most recent classification system divided it into six subfamilies (Gagné and Jaschhof 2021).The Nearctic and Palearctic faunas are known for more than two thousand species each, while the Neotropical fauna is still superficially known, comprising less than 10% of the species described worldwide. The first Neotropical cecidomyiid species were described at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. During this period, Jean Jacques Kieffer (1857–1925), Ewald Heinrich Rübsaamen (1857–1919), and Joachim da Silva Tavares (1866–1931) stood out for their pioneering and valuable studies. After them, taxonomic contributions there were scattered until 1959, when Edwin Möhn (1928–2008) began publishing on the fauna of El Salvador. A few years later, Raymond Gagné (1935–) published the first catalog of the Neotropical  Cecidomyiidae . Gagné (1994) published the “green book” which is still an essential reference for the taxonomic study of the Neotropical  Cecidomyiidae . In the 1990s, Brazilian taxonomists began to actively describe species and deal with the diversity of the family in the country. According to Maia (2021), the family is presently represented by 293 species of 105 genera in Brazil (Carmo-Neto et al. 2021, Maia 2022a, 2022b, 2022 c, Garcia et al. 2023a, 2023b, 2023 c, 2023d). </p>

            <p> Diadocidiidae</p>
            <p> This family includes two genera with 29 extant described species worldwide. Of these, 27 species belong to the extant genus  Diadocidia Ruthe, 1831 . There are only two species assigned to a fossil genus from the Cretaceous amber from Katchin, Myanmar, known as  Docidiadia Blagoderov and Grimaldi, 2004 (Blagoderov and Grimaldi 2004, Amorim and Brown 2022), but the association of the genus to the  Diadocidiidae still demands corroboration. In the Neotropical region, there are three described species of  Diadocidia (Bechev and Chandler 2011) , and only one known from Brazil (Falaschi 2024a). Papavero (1977a) mentioned a second undescribed species from Chile, Vockeroth (2009) referred to an undescribed species from Mexico, and Falaschi (2016a) reported the genus in Colombia. </p>
            <p>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).</p>

            <p> Ditomyiidae</p>
            <p> The ditomyiids constitute a relatively small family of fungus gnats, with over 100 described species in 10 genera in all regions, except from the Afrotropical Region (Vockeroth 2009). In the Neotropical Region, 35 species have been described in six genera (Falaschi 2016b). The known fauna from Brazil includes 11 described species in four genera:  Australosymmerus Freeman, 1954 —in the subgenus A. (Melosymmerus) Munroe, 1974 (seven species)—,  Calliceratomyia Lane, 1946 (one species),  Nervijuncta Marshall, 1896 (one species), and  Rhipidita Edwards, 1940 (two species) (Falaschi 2024b), with a good number of undescribed species of the genera  Rhipidita and  Calliceratomyia available in collections, and an undescribed genus closely related to these two genera. These fungus gnats are typically associated with moist environments, such as decaying wood covered with moss and fungi. The immature stages live in galleries within rotting wood or on  Polyporaceae fungi (Munroe 1974). </p>

            <p>This family comprises about 1,000 species distributed in more than 100 extant and fossil genera (Mantič et al. 2020). The family has a wide biogeographic distribution, with most described species from the Palaearctic and Neotropical regions (Evenhuis 2006). In the Neotropical region, there are more than 30 genera and over 200 species, 90 of which are known from Brazil (Evenhuis 2006, Falaschi 2024c).</p>
            <p> 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. 2019a). 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, 2016c). One species in Brazil,  Neoceroplatus betaryensis Falaschi, Johnson &amp; Stevani, 2019 is known to have blue bioluminescence (Falaschi et al. 2019a, 2019b). </p>

            <p> Lygistorrhinidae</p>
            <p> The Neotropical  Lygistorrhinidae have 14 described species known in the genus  Lygistorrhina Skuse, 1890 mainly from Brazil, French Guiana, and Mexico (Oliveira and Amorim 2012a, Grund 2012, Huerta et al. 2019, Blagoderov and Pollet 2020). Globally, there are 51 species of  Lygistorrhinidae in 16 genera, of which 16 are known as fossils in nine extinct genera and 35 are extant species in eight genera (Blagoderov and Pollet 2020). The first Brazilian species were described by Edwards (  L.brasiliensis Edwards, 1932 ) and Lane (  L. barretoi Lane, 1947 and  L. edwardsi Lane, 1947 ) from the states of Rio de Janeiro, Goiás, and São Paulo, respectively. Other Neotropical species are known from Mexico, Trinidad, St. Vincent, and French Guiana (Oliveira and Amorim 2012a, Grund 2012, Huerta et al. 2019, Blagoderov and Pollet 2020). The first version of the Neotropical catalog of the family (Papavero 1977b) had seven valid species, while the second version (Oliveira and Amorim 2012a) recorded nine species—with an increase of five species in the last decade (Grund 2012, Huerta et al. 2019, Blagoderov and Pollet 2020). </p>
            <p> 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 2012a, 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 2012a). For the time being, we abandon L. (Probolaeus) as a subgenus. </p>

            <p> Mycetophilidae</p>
            <p> The  Mycetophilidae at present have 1,219 Neotropical described species distributed in 56 genera (Oliveira and Amorim 2014b, 2014c, 2021, Amaral et al. 2023). A new Neotropical species was recently described by Afiune and Oliveira (2024), but not included in the database herein studied, totalizing 1,220 species in neotropics. Mycetophilids are widely distributed in the Neotropical Region. Recent inventories documented the presence of genera in different areas, widening their distribution in South America (e.g., Amorim et al. 2022, Riccardi et al. 2022, Lamas et al. 2023). The current number of known Neotropical species (Oliveira 2024b) in relation to the first version of Neotropical (Papavero 1978) shows an increase in the number of species from 749 to 1,219, 63% in 45 years. </p>
            <p> Mycetophilids are part of the fungus gnats and their life cycle has mostly larvae feeding on fungi. The biology of the Neotropical species of the family began to be documented only recently (Oliveira et al. 2015, Passacq et al. 2017, Amaral et al. 2022a, 2022b, 2023). There is no question about the monophyly of the  Mycetophilidae if we disregard a few mesosciophilid-like genera, such as  Freemanomyia Jaschhof. The most recent classification system within the family was proposed by Oliveira and Amorim (2021). </p>

The  Chiletrichinae genus  Chiletricha Chandler, 2002 is known from Chile, Argentina, and  Chiletricha marginata (Edwards, 1940) from southern Brazil (Amorim and Falaschi 2012);  Eratomyia Amorim &amp; Rindal, 2007 is known from Ecuador and Colombia. The  Ohakuneinae genus  Ohakunea Tonnoir &amp; Edwards, 1927 is known in South America from southern Chile and Argentina, but there is an undescribed species of the genus known from southern Brazil (D.S. Amorim unpublished data); the genus  Colonomyia Colless, 1963 has species known from Argentina and southern Chile, with  C. brasiliana Amorim and Rindal, 2007 , known from the states of São Paulo (Amorim and Falaschi 2012) and Mato Grosso (unpublished data); the genus  Rogambara Jaschhof, 2005 is known from Costa Rica and  Cabamofa Jaschhof, 2005 is known from Costa Rica and Panama (Jaschhof 2004), but have not been recorded from Brazil. </p>
            <p> 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 &amp; 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. </p>

            <p> Sciaridae</p>
            <p> The family  Sciaridae includes over 2,700 described species worldwide in more than 80 genera. The actual number of species known, however, is far below the actual diversity of the family. The BIN count for  Sciaridae found by Hebert et al. (2016) in the Nearctic region is nearly 75 times the number of described species in the region; Srivathsan et al. (2023) studied the species composition of 39 Malaise trap samples in five biogeographic regions, eight countries, and numerous habitats, and found sciarids as the sixth most speciose in a set of 20 insect families that account for over half of the species diversity. There are almost 200 described Neotropical species of  Sciaridae (Amorim 1992) , of which 91 are known for Brazil. The concept of the many genera of sciarids has changed over the last 40 years (see, e.g., Mohrig and Menzel 2014) and most old keys for the genera of the family are not adequate for the Neotropical fauna. For the time being, the key in Mohrig and Menzel (2009) is the most adequate to identify the Brazilian fauna of  Sciaridae . </p>
            <p>Brief perceptions of Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls in the Brazilian fauna</p>
            <p> 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). </p>
