Abstract: The genus Peripsychoda Enderlein, 1935 is qualified and the systematic position
of this Palaearctic taxon is discussed. Differential diagnosis as well as
distribution of all included species are presented. P. iranica sp. n. is
described and figured on the basis of males from North Iran. Males and females
of P. auriculata (Curt.) and male of P. fusca (Macq.) are redescribed on the
basis of material from Czechoslovakia, diagnoses and comments on bionomy are
given, all literary data are summarized. New synonymy is proposed: P. zanqtieri
Sara, 1952 syn . n . = P. auriculata Curtis, 1839. Arguments
counter-lectotype-designation in the case of P. auriculata (Curt.) are advanced.
