Abstract: A lectotype (male) and paralectotypes (male, female) of Pneumia
vittata (Tonnoir, 1919) comb. nov. (= Pericoma crispi Freeman,
1953 syn. nov.) from Belgium are designated. The species is redescribed and
illustrated, and a differential diagnosis is given. The former designation of a
holotype, paratypes and paratypoids by Jung is invalid because it was not
published. In addition, a problem with Tonnoiriella obtusa (Tonnoir,
1919) comb. nov. (= Tonnoiriella anchoriformis Salamanna, 1975 syn.
nov.) from Belgium is resolved. A female specimen is designated as a lectotype,
but only the dissected wings from this specimen are in condition suitable for
redescription. There is additional non-type material collected later by Tonnoir;
this material, including 3 females and 1 male, was the basis for
redescription, illustrations and differential diagnosis. The unpublished male
lectotype designated by Jung is invalid. Two species are added to the last
checklist of Psychodidae from Belgium, raising the total number to 94.
