Nomenclatorical changes of some higher taxa of palaearctic Psychodinae (Diptera, Psychodidae)

Abstract: Mormiini Enderlein, 1935 and Paramormiini Enderlein, 1935 stat. n. are recognized. New genera Oomormia, Psychomormia, Jovamormia, Taramormia, Yomormia, Promormta. Saximormia, Katamormia, Telomormia, Psycmera and Satoba are established as well as two new subgenera, Psychogella and Psychocha, of the genus Jungiella Vaillant, 1972. Changes of status are presetned in following cases: Limomormia Vaillant, 1982, Rhadinomormia Vaillant, 1974, Hemimormia Krek, 1971, Duckhousiella Vaillant, 1972, Phyllotelmatoscopus Vaillant, 1982 and Parajungiella Vaillant, 1972. Nom. Lepimormia Enderlein, 1936 for Paramormia Vaillant, 1974 (nee Enderlein, 1935) is used (praeocup. name). Following nev synonymy is proposed: Hemimormia Krek, 1971 ( = Perimormia Vaillant, 1974). The following names are recognized as unavailable: Eomormia Krek, 1971, Eomormia Krek sensu Vaillant, 1974, Paramormia Krek, 1971 (nee Enderlein, 1935). Genus Mormia Enderlein, 1935 is correctly based on the type-species Pericoma revisenda Eaton, 1893 and species of the genus Telmatoscopus sensu Vaillant, 1972 (nec Eaton, 1904) are included in the genus Clogmia Enderlein, 1936. The diiignosis of twotribes, 22 genera and 6 subgenera are presented, mostly palaearctic species of mentioned genera are listed. The references in the literature are included and rather complicated nomenclatotrical problems are discussed.
