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
