An annotated list is given and the distribution of 13 species of fungus gnats of the families Bolitophilidae and Keroplatidae, collected from Tuva in Eastern Siberia, is provided. As a result of our study, 11 species were added to the list of fungus gnats of Tuva
Key words: Diptera; Bolitophilidae; Keroplatidae; fungus gnats; Eastern Siberia; Tyva Republic; Tuva
Introduction
Bolitophilidae and Keroplatidae (Diptera) are two families within the large superfamily Sciaroidea, whose representatives (excluding Sciaridae and Cecidomyiidae) are united under the common name fungus gnats. A characteristic feature of fungus gnats is the trophic connection of their larvae with fungi; so, the fungus gnats are mainly associated with the forest zone in their distribution. The Bolitophilidae and Keroplatidae families in the adjacent territories were studied in Altai Republic (Zaitzev, 1994), Kuznetsky Alatau (Ostroverkhova & Maksimova, 2000; Maximova, 2002) and in the southern taiga subzone in the south of Tomsk Region (Subbotina, 2014). Fragmentary information about Tuva fauna is only found in the work of A.I. Zaitzev (1994). Due to the lack of information on the fauna of fungus gnats of Eastern Siberia, the relevance of our work emerges.
Material and methods
The material was collected in the Tyva Republic (Todjinsky district, Sut-Khol district) from 19.06 to 30.08.2017 in five localities (Points No. 1-5). Dongak was the collector unless otherwise specified. Only males were used for determination. The material is stored at the Department of Zoology of Invertebrates of Tomsk State University.
The abbreviations used in the text to designate places of assembly are as follows:

Rosa majalis, Vaccinium uliginosum, Pedicularis oederi, Oxytropis saposhnikovii, Pussatilla campanella, Gagea serotina, Rhodioia rosea. Material was collected by using entomological net.
Systematics of Bolitophilidae and Keroplatidae, as well as information about their distribution are given in accordance with the online catalog Fauna Europaea (Chandler, 2005). Species identification was carried out, using keys to genera and species of A.I. Zaitzev (1994) and G.P. Ostroverkhova (1979).
