| Summary: | Abstract Following a brief introduction to the family Mycetophilidae in Australia, and keys to its subfamilies, the Ditomyiinae are reviewed. Seven species of Australosymmerus Freeman are described, six of them new, while the new genus Crionisca is erected to accommodate one known species and one new. Australosymmerus is confirmed as an “Antarctic” genus, found also in South America and New Zealand, with the Australian species apparently more closely resembling those of the former area. Crionisca seems to be endemic. |
