2-For-1 offer: Bradysia polonica (Lengersdorf, 1929) and Bradysia spinidensa Hondru, 1968, stat. res. (Diptera, Sciaridae)
Using an integrative taxonomic approach combining molecular and morphological data, the observed morphological variation of <i>Bradysia polonica</i> (Lengersdorf, 1929) was investigated. The molecular data combined with the morphology of the gonostyli confirmed the presence of two species, with <i>Bradysia spinidensa</i> Hondru, 1968 being reinstated as a valid species.
