Vilkamaa, P. 2003: Review of the genus Baeosciara Tuomikoski (Diptera: Sciaridae). - Entomol. Fennica 14: 220–226.

The genus Baeosciara Tuomikoski, 1960, Holarctic in distribution, includes the following species: B. discolor (Lengersdorf) (Europe), B. scotica (Edwards) (Europe, northern North America), B. sinuata (Menzel & Mohrig) (Europe) and B. pectinata sp. n. (western Canada). The new species is described, the other species are redescribed or diagnosed. Based on my earlier cladistic analysis of the Trichosia group of genera, the original generic rank of Baeosciara is restored.
