Notes. Chandler (2004a) recorded this species from Sardinia based on the specimens from V1 cited above. It was indicated by Kjaerandsen et al. (2007a) that the holotype of Mycetophila grisea was identical to M. perpallida , but the latter name was retained pending a review of other possible synonyms with precedence.
