Abstract
Mycomya supernivea Nakamura and Saigusa, 2020 is a recently described large-sized cold-adapted fungus gnat species known from the island of Hokkaido and the northern part of Honshu in Japan. This study reports the species for the first time from Shikoku Island and the central part of Honshu, indicating that the species is more widely distributed throughout the Japanese islands. Additionally, the systematic position of M. supernivae within the genus Mycomya is discussed, and it is placed under the subgenus Mycomya s. str. within the species group M. matrona.

Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle "Grigore Antipa" (The Journal of "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History) is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal devoted to zoological research that is published biannually by the "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History from Bucharest (Romania). It publishes original research or review articles dealing with all aspects of general zoology (taxonomy, systematics, evolutionism, faunistics, zoogeography, palaeozoology, animal ecology, invasive species of animals, parasitism, biodiversity conservation). Also, some book reviews, anniversaries and obituaries of some personalities of science world can be accepted to be published in this journal. In the present, the only language accepted for this journal is English. The scope of the journal is to publish, disseminate and provide open access to the results of the original studies made in different zoological fields, in Romania and worldwide.
