Lycoriella sativae (Johannsen, 1912) (Fig. 6 A–D) Sciara sativae Johannsen, 1912 [Johannsen (1912): 133, figs 120, 240]. Common synonyms: Lycoriella agarici (Loudon, 1978); Lycoriella castanescens (Lengersdorf, 1940); Lycoriella fucorum (Frey, 1948). = Sciara auberti Séguy, 1940 syn. n. [Séguy (1940): 211–212, figs 2–5]. Séguy described a male and a female collected by E. Aubert in March 1931 from Port Jeanne-d´Arc in the Kerguelen Islands. The short gonostylus with 4 spines in the middle of the inner side (fig. 3) is consistent with L. sativae. It is a junior synonym of that species. The deposition of the type was not mentioned by the author. Perhaps it is deposited in Paris. = Sciara jeanneli Séguy, 1940 syn. n. [Séguy (1940): 210–211, fig. 1]. The species was described on the basis of two females collected on 6.ii.1939 from the South-east region, Golfe du Morbiham, Port Jeanne-dÀrc, in the Kerguelen Islands. we have not studied this species but we believe that the wing venation and body size (1.75 mm, as in Sciara auberti) is consistent with L. sativae and so Sciara jeanneli is a junior synonym too. The deposition of the type was not mentioned by the author. = Sciara solispina Hardy, 1956 syn. n. [Hardy (1956): 84 –85, fig. 9a–c]. = Lycoriella solispina (Hardy, 1956) syn. n. [Steffan (1973a): 358]. This species was described on the basis of a male collected by D.E. Hardy in October 1952 from Kaula Gulch, on the north slopes of Mauna Kea, Hawaii, at 7000 ft. The holotype is deposited in the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum (slide 2489). we have examined this specimen and it is identical to L. sativae.
