Gunnar Mikalsen Kvifte (27.5.1987-), Norwegian taxonomist specializing in the Dipteran family Psychodidae. Core areas of interest include the global classification of Psychodinae, character evolution and supraspecific taxonomy of Trichomyiinae, species-level taxonomy mostly of Holarctic Psychodinae, and faunistics of European Diptera. Current major projects include homologies of the male genitalia in world Psychodinae, generic taxonomy of Afrotropical Psychodinae, genera of world Trichopsychodina, DNA barcoding of world Psychodinae and the Psychodid faunas of Norway and Croatia.
