Fungivora is an old name for
Myceophila, along with
Tendipes for
Chironomus and several more. There was a 50 year long dispute among entomologists over whether to use names from an early version of Meigen's classification of Diptera published in 1800 or different names from the final version published in 1803. In the 1960s the authorities decided to use the 1803 names.
