Genus Spungisomyia Mamaev & Zaitzev, 1996

Introduced as monotypic ( Mamaev & Zaitzev 1996), the genus Spungisomyia was in recent years revealed to be fairly speciose, with eight new species described within a few years from Sweden alone ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013, 2020a). The description of a further new Spungisomyia from Sweden is pending (unpublished data). Given this speciosity in a country so close to Germany, the previous absence of records of Spungisomyia in Germany must be attributed to too little inventory work done there in the past ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2021b). Consistent with this reasoning, the present project provided evidence of four different Spungisomyia occurring in Germany, including a new species that is described below.
