Catalogue of Rangomaramidae (Diptera: Bibionomorpha) types housed in the collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil

. This paper provides a catalogue of the type specimens of Rangomaramidae (Diptera: Bibionomorpha) held in the collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil (MZUSP). Label data and the condition of 26 type-specimens (three holotypes and 23 paratypes) of four Neotropical species are provided.


INTRODUCTION
Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world in terms of the species richness of its fauna and flora. The Brazilian most important scientific collection for animal diversity is the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP), São Paulo, Brazil. The MZUSP collection houses more than 8,000 fly species and six hundred thousand mounted specimens, being the largest and most important depository of Neotropical Diptera in Brazil and in South America. Additional information on the collection is available at www.mz.usp.br.
The family Rangomaramidae was erected by Jaschhof & Didham (2002) for five New Zealand species of the genus Rangomarama Jaschhof & Didham. The concept of the family was revised by Amorim & Rindal (2007), who recognized four main clades ranked as subfamilies in Rangomaramidae. These subfamilies encompass genera that for quite long had an uncertain position within the Mycetophiliformia (sensu Amorim & Rindal, 2007 = Sciaroidea). A monophyletic Rangomaramidae, as can be seen by Amorim & Rindal's (2007) discussion, is still not to be taken for granted. Having them gathered corresponds, however, to one of the most parcimonious solutions for the problem of the relationship between four main sciaroid clades-Rangomaraminae, Ohakuneinae, Heterotrichinae and Chiletrichinaeand allowed to gather most of the genera that were unplaced in the Sciaroidea.
The present paper provides a catalogue with information on 26 type-specimens (three holotypes and 23 paratypes) of four Neotropical species of two of the genera of the family Rangomaramidae held in the collection of the MZUSP (Table 1)

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The list given below is in alphabetical order of subfamily, genus, and epithet. Names, combinations, and spellings follow the available catalogues of Rangomaramidae Amorim & Falaschi (2012), Falaschi & Amorim (2016) and Falaschi (2019).
The standard for reproducing the information on the labels follows previous catalogues of general Diptera and Bibionomorpha housed in other major museums collections of Neotropical fauna (e.g., for the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, in Yamaguchi & Lamas, 2009;Fachin & Lamas, 2015;Mello & Lamas, 2011). All types listed here are drypinned or slide-mounted specimens. Herein we present some slide photos, but high-resolution photographs will be subsequently provided for most primary types at MZUSP's homepage (www.mz.usp.br).

Condition of holotype:
On slide. Missing parts: Undetermined wing.

Condition of paratype:
Pinned, terminalia on slide pinned with the specimen. Missing parts: Both antennae, left wing, abdomen and fore and hind legs.  Condition of paratypes: Both pinned, terminalia on slide pinned with the specimens. Missing parts: Right antennae, undetermined wing, abdomen and all legs broken at one specimen; the second one: abdomen broken.

Condition of paratype:
Pinned, left wing on slide pinned with the specimen. One entire and the other with right wing on slide pinned. Missing parts: Both antennae, right wing, abdomen and terminalia.
