Abstract

Five species of black fungus gnats are recorded from Ukraine for the first time: Bradysia forficulata (Bezzi, 1914), B. lobata Hondru, 1968, B. normalis Frey, 1948, B. urticae Mohrig & Menzel, 1992 and Lycoriella sativae (Johannsen, 1912). Distributions of these species are summarized and their diagnoses are provided.
