A cladistic analysis with representative genera of all knownfamily group taxa as well as genera without current family affiliation,including three undescribed taxa in the ingroup, produced one mostparsimonious cladogram. The new result differs from our earlierhypothesis especially by placement of many of the fossil taxa, e. g.Mangasidae and Antefungivoridae appear now at the base of thececidomyiid clade instead of belonging to the Diadocidia clade. Amonophyletic Heterotricha group includes even Colonomyia + Ohakunea.A new Cretaceous fossil genus (two species) from Alava amber is the sistergroup of Colonomyia + Ohakunea, and a new extant genus fromMadagascar is the sister of all these four taxa. Starkomyia belongs to theMesosciophilidae clade. The Mesozoic Thereotricha is in the mycetophilidclade and appears as the sister of Freemanomyia + Archipleciomima.Key Words: phylogeny, Sciaroidea, fossils∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗∗293
