Remarks.
Trichosia caudata was originally described by Fabricius (1794) in the fly genus Rhagio ( Rhagionidae ) and later classified by himself as ‘ Sciara morio ’ in the family Sciaridae ( Fabricius 1805) . Heller et al. (2016) found that the female lectotype of Rhagio morio Fabricius belongs to Sciara hemerobioides Scopoli, 1763 , so that the name Rhagio morio Fabricius sank into synonymy and the next available name, ‘ caudata Walker, 1848 ’, was reinstated for this Trichosia species. Trichosia caudata (Walker) is common and widespread in Europe ( Menzel and Mohrig 1997), but has only rarely been found in East Asia. Sasakawa (1993, 2003, 2014) recorded an adult specimen from Japan as ‘ Bradysia morio ’ (1993) and ‘ Trichosia morio ’ (2003, 2014) which visited a Naematoloma mushroom in Kyoto Prefecture. In this study, we examined one male collected in Hyogo Prefecture.
