ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1856: 194.

TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work deals with Italian species .

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 specimen, syntype (sex not determinable, dirty, missing head) ( MZUF: Box 63): Fungina Rndn. / sicula Rndn. , Sicilia / 3228.

CURRENT STATUS: doubtful species of Boletina Staeger, 1840 View in CoL (Laštovka & Matile in Hackman et al. 1988: 248), doubtful species of Mycetophilidae View in CoL , as Agaromya sicula ( O’Hara et al. 2011: 87) .

REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 194) key for the genus Fungina Rondani, 1856 lists Fungina sicula as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex of the specimens. We found one syntype in this study. Rondani (1861e: 12) noted that his Fungina was preoccupied by Ehrenberg, 1834 and proposed the new replacement name Agaromya with Fungina sicula as its type species, automatically. O’Hara et al. (2011: 87) noted that Fungina Rondani, 1856 is preoccupied and is a senior (but invalid) synonym of Agaromya Rondani, 1861 , a doubtful genus of Gnoristini (Laštovka & Matile in Hackman et al. 1988: 248).
