Overview
Azana is a genus of fungus gnats within the family Mycetophilidae, specifically classified under the subfamily Sciophilinae.[2] Recent taxonomic work has expanded the known diversity of this genus, including the description of new species such as Azana demeijeri and Azana leekongchiani from Singapore.[2]
