Mycomyinae is a subfamily of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae. As of 2025, it consists of 10 genera and over 600 species.
Diagnosis This subfamily can be separated from the other mycetophiloid families and subfamilies based on the following characteristics: The veins of M and Cu fork separate to wing base, fine tibial setae in regular rows, middle ocellus absent, empodia absent, and wing membrane without macrotrichia.
The pupa is immobile with distinctly strengthened integument and pedothecae tightly bound to the body.
Genera The 10 genera are as follows: Dinempheria Matile, 1979 Echinopodium Freeman, 1951 Moriniola Matile, 1976 Mycoleia Väisänen, 1984 Mycomya Rondani, 1856 Mycomyiella Matile, 1973 Neoempheria Osten Sacken, 1878 Parempheriella Matile 1974 Syndocosia Speiser, 1923 Viridivora Matile, 1972 In 2025, the genus Vecella was determined to be a junior synonym of Parempheriella and is therefore not included in the list above.
