A new dark-winged fungus gnat genus, Linana Shah & Huang gen. nov. (Diptera: Sciaridae), from China, with descriptions of two new species

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Shah, Bismillah, Shao, Yisa, Zhu, Yi, Huang, Junhao (2026): A new dark-winged fungus gnat genus, Linana Shah & Huang gen. nov. (Diptera: Sciaridae), from China, with descriptions of two new species. Zootaxa 5752 (3): 435-443, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5752.3.7, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5752.3.7AbstractA new genus of dark-winged fungus gnats, Linana Shah & Huang gen. nov. is described from China, with two newly described species: Linana primaria Shah & Huang gen. et sp. nov. as a type species, and Linana confusa Shah & Huang gen. et sp. nov. Morphologically, this genus combines the characters of different clades, by having long and bottleneck-shaped flagellomeres, an undifferentiated tibial organ and non-setose posterior wing veins, but unique male genitalia. DNA barcode data (COI) further support its genetic distinctiveness.
