Abstract: An account of the tribes Mormiini and Paramormiini (Psychodidae: Psychodinae)
from Malaysia is given, including the description of a new paramormiine genus
Perakomyia gen. nov. and the second record of the genus Saximormia Ježek,
1984 in the Oriental Region. The subgenera Nototelmatoscopus Satchell,
1953 and Oscoreopus Ježek, 1989 (substitute name for Oreoscopus Quate &
Quate, 1967) of the genus Telmatoscopus Eaton, 1904, unjustly synonymized with
the genus Peripsychoda Enderlein, 1935 in the past, are recognized as valid.
Nototelmatoscopus is raised to generic rank. It includes the subgenera
Nototelmatoscopus s. str., Oscoreopus and Jozifekia subgen. nov. The following
new combination for species originally included in Telmatoscopus are given:
Nototelmatoscopus (Nototelmatoscopus) obscurus (Satchell, 1953) comb. nov., N.
(N.) appendiculatus (Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (N.) baitabagensis
(Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (N.) centraceps (Quate & Quate,
1967) comb. nov., N. (N.) confragus (Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N.
(N.) cracentus (Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (N.) crassepalpis
(Satchell, 1953) comb. nov., N. (N.) dimorphus (Tonnoir, 1953) comb. nov., N.
(N.) empheres (Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (N.) festivus (Satchell,
1953) comb. nov., N. (N.) gregsoni (Tonnoir, 1953) comb. nov., N. (N.)

1967) comb. nov., N. (N.) reburrus (Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (N.)
sisyphus (Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (N.) tridentatus (Quate &
Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (N.) viduatus (Tonnoir, 1953) comb. nov., N.
(Oscoreopus) wauensis (Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (O.) ambalatus
(Quate & Quate, 1967) comb. nov., N. (O.) globalaris (Quate & Quate,
1967) comb. nov., and Perakomyia kalabakensis (Quate, 1962) comb. nov. Three new
species are described: Saximormia jelineki sp. nov., Nototelmatoscopus
