Boletina dispectoides Jakovlev & Penttinen sp.n., a new species of the Boletina nitida group is described. In addition, six other species of fungus gnats are reported from Finland for the first time. Manota unifurcata Lundström, 1913 was reared from dead wood. Exechia bicincta Staeger, 1840, Mycetophila forcipata Lundström, 19 13, M. sumavica (Lastovka, 1963), Trichonta tristis (Strobl, 1898) and Sciophila plarisetosa Edwards, 1921 were caught by pit-fall and Malaise traps in southern and central Finland. Detailed information on Finnish records as well as data on the general distribution of the species and their larval microhabitats is given.
