Sciaridae -- fossil Diptera cat.

Family SCIARIDAE

Members of the cosmopolitan family Sciaridae are moderately common in the fossil record, both in abundance of specimens and numbers of species. Adults of extant forms are commonly found in moist habitats, sometimes in large numbers, associated with larval haunts. Larvae feed chiefly on decaying plant matter or fungi. Some are pests in greenhouses and mushroom farms.

Many of the fossil species originally described in the "catch-all" genera Lycoria Meigen [= Sciara Meigen] or Sciara Meigen are badly in need of revision to accommodate contemporary generic concepts that have been developed for the extant forms.

The oldest records of the family are of undetermined specimens from the Cretaceous amber of Lebanon (Whalley, 1981), Siberia (Zherichin & Sukacheva, 1973), New Jersey (Grimaldi et al., 1989: 19), and Canada (McAlpine & Martin, 1969). Other undetermined material includes records of the family from the Oligocene/Miocene amber of the Dominican Republic (Poinar, 1992), and Paleocene amber of Switzerland (Soom, 1984).
