Abstract. The sciarids are represented in the North-East Altai by 168 species of the 22 genus (Bradysia – 48, Bradysiopsis – 1, Dichopygina-5, Camptochaeta – 13, Chaetosciara -1, Claustropyga – 2, Corynoptera -24, Cratyna – 5, Ctenosciara -2, Epidapus - 3, Leptosciarella – 9, Lycoriella – 9, Scatopsciara – 10, Sciara – 8, Phytosciara – 1, Dolichosciara – 4, Pseudolycoriella-1, Peyerimhoffia -5, Pnyxia – 3, Prosciara – 3, Xylosciara - 4, Zygoneura – 7). For every species data on the distribution are given.

Key words. Sciarids, Sciaridae (Diptera), distribution.

The Sciaridae is a clearly defined family of Nematocera (Diptera), mostly involving minute, dark colored gnats with thin legs and characteristic wing venation. The larvae inhabit various substrates such as mushrooms, soil, decaying leaves, wood, etc. Species composition of sciariden in relict areas of Altai “chern” taiga (small-leaved-coniferous subnemoral forest) was studied. The chern taiga represents a unique relic formation and carries a great amount of floristic paleogene-neogene relicts in its composition. The latter allowed assuming that there are the endemic, relict and midge species new science on this territory that made possible further development of phylogenetic family system and historical reconstruction of sciariden in Altai.

The work is devoted to study of biodiversity in Altai chern taiga. Besides saprophagy, Sciaridae species inhabit hothouses and reach high numbers becoming rather harmful for agricultural plants and mushrooms cultivating in closed soils. Recently, Sciaridae attract attention as objects for genetic study. Nowadays, rare relict formation xylophilous species including some Sciaridae begin to experience oppression. In the last years, the negative impact of human activity on the condition of the relict complex of Altai chern taiga is intensified, and danger for disappearance of many ancient species threatens.

The material was collected during summer expeditions in Altai region and Altai Republic in 2005 - 2011. The studied sites differ in their physical-geographical conditions, origin, and composition.

The commonly accepted methods of field and laboratory faunistic-systematic studies were used while performs the work. To collect imago in field, the mowing with entomological net in herb, shrubs, trees, over mushrooms and rotten stumps, along streams and reversed trees was used, also by Malaise traps. The captured insects were lulled in ether and placed in tubes with 70% alcohol supplied with corresponding label. Then we have been mounted the ethanol specimens on microscope slides in Euparal. The revealed biodiversity represented by 168 species of Sciaridae of the genus 22 and they may involve a number of undescribed species.

This paper is a continuation of the study of composite family Sciaridae Billberg from Altai. Here new list of the North-East Altai species with modern data in systematic Sciaridae [2], also in the list we used data of the distribution all species [1] and next abbreviations of the distribution: A – Austria, NE – North Europe, SF – Finland, R –Romania, I – Italy, DK –Denmark, D – Germany, ES –East Siberia, WS- Western Siberia, S –Sweden, BG – Bulgaria, SMA - Asia, PL –Poland, C – Canada, NL –Nederland, F –France, UK –Ukraine, TR –Turkey, NET –North-East tail of Russia, FE – Far East.
