Abstract: A higher taxonomy of the world Psychodini End. is restricted to 10 genera of which 6 are new to science: Psychodocha, Psycha, Psychomora, Chodopsycha, Psychodula and Ypsydocha. Unfortunately, many new proposed genera from 420 known species of the genus Psychoda Latreille, 1796 s. lat. of the world are not included. The tribe Psychodini End. is characterized by comparison with both Mormiini End. and Paramormiini End. Synonymy, diagnosis, known geographical distribution, biology, list of the world species of all quoted genera and some new combinationes are presented, from which many are established on the basis of literature only.
Key words: Diptera, Psychodidae, taxonomy, new genera
