<strong>New</strong> <strong>records</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sciophila</strong> <strong>Meigen</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Czech</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Slovak</strong> Republics (Diptern:<br />
Mycerophilidae). - Cas. Slez. Muz. Opava, 54: 69-74,2005.<br />
A b S t r a c t : Eight species <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sciophila</strong> <strong>Meigen</strong> are recorded for <strong>the</strong> first time <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
tenitory <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Czech</strong> Republic <strong>and</strong> 5 <strong>from</strong> <strong>Slovak</strong>ia. Fur<strong>the</strong>r 6 species are for <strong>the</strong> first time<br />
recorded <strong>from</strong> Moravia <strong>and</strong> Silesia. Photographs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> male terminalis <strong>of</strong> four rare species<br />
are also presented.<br />
K e Y W 0 r d : Sciaroidca, fungus gnats, distribution, new <strong>records</strong>.<br />
The genus <strong>Sciophila</strong> <strong>Meigen</strong>, l818 comprises about 132 described species (Soli 1997).<br />
Holmtic species <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sciophila</strong> were revised by Zaitzev (1982). <strong>Czech</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Slovak</strong> species <strong>of</strong> this<br />
genus have not yet been reviewed <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> last checklist (KoHel et al. 1997) comprises less than<br />
a half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> actual number <strong>of</strong> species known to occur in <strong>the</strong>se countries.<br />
In this paper, new <strong>records</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sciophila</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Czech</strong> Republic <strong>and</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>Slovak</strong>ia are presented,<br />
including species new to particular major regions, i. e. Bohemia <strong>and</strong> Moravia & Silesia.<br />
