Adult and immature stages (larvae and pupae) of ‘black fungus gnats’ (Diptera: Sciaridae) were collected from July to September 2019 in nurseries of production of potted lily (Lilium sp.) in Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca, Mexico. One hundred percent of the specimens collected in the field corresponded to the genus Bradysia Winertz, 1867 (Diptera: Sciaridae). The present study represents the first record of this genus in Lilium sp. plants in Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca, Mexico.
