چکیده
BACKGROUND Anisopodidae (window gnats or wood gnats) is a small family of nematocerous Diptera. Until now only Sylvicola (Anisopus) punctatus (Fabricius, 1787) and Sylvicola (Sylvicola) fenestralis (Scopoli, 1763) were reported from Romania. NEW INFORMATION New faunistic records of Sylvicola (Diptera: Anisopodidae) are presented. Sylvicola (Sylvicola) cinctus (Fabricius, 1787) and S. (Anisopus) fuscatus (Fabricius, 1775) are recorded from Romania for the first time. An identification key and illustrations of Romanian Sylvicola species are presented.

Wood Gnats of the Genus Sylvicola (diptera, Anisopodidae): Taxonomic Status, Family Assignment, and Review of Nominal Species Described by J. C. Fabricius
nig (1973) and Peterson (1981), i.e. including Sylvicola Harris, Olbiogaster Osten Sacken, Mycetobia Meigen and related genera, are today a small family of nematocerous Neodiptera (see Michelsen 1996a) with ca. 120 species described. However, a rich fossil record suggests that the direct lineage leading to the modern family can be traced back to early Middle Mesozoic (200+ Myr). The family is r...
