Isoneuromyia semirufa is a Palearctic[1] species of 'fungus gnat' in the family Mycetophilidae. The members of this genus [Orfelia] are, as larvae, web spinners chiefly associated with dead wood where they feed on fungal hyphae. They also could be found in turf, grass tussocks, under logs and boulders, in worm tunnels, among mosses and liverworts.[2] They were discovered in 2006 in China: Zhejiang province: Wuyanling National Natural Reserve, Yiping Wang along with 3 Isoneuromyia Isoneuromyia baumhaueri, Isoneuromyia signata and orfelia semirufa[3]
