Abstract

In this contribution, we present the first records of species from the families Cecidomyiidae, Keroplatidae, Mycetophilidae, and Sciaridae from Slovakia. A total of 45 species were identified, of which 44 species are new to Slovakia—29 in Cecidomyiidae, 3 in Keroplatidae, 8 in Mycetophilidae, and 4 in Sciaridae. New records for central Europe are as follows, Campylomyza nigroliminata Mamaev, 1998, Gynapteromyia brevipalpis (Mamaev, 1964), Arctepidosis jamalensis Mamaev, 1990, Asynapta magdalini Panelius, 1965, Camptomyia oldhammeri Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2019, Glemparon sagittifer Jaschhof, 2013, Neurepidosis hybrida Jaschhof & Jaschhof, 2019, Paratetraneuromyia nobilis (Felt, 1913), Porricondyla leacheana (Walker, 1856), Pseudepidosis lunaris Mamaev, 1966, Stackelbergiella rickebasta Jaschhof, 2013, Tetraneuromyia discrepans Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2019, T. moldaviensis (Spungis, 1987), and Sciophila minuta Zaitzev, 1982.
