Abstract: Collections of aquatic insects emerging from tropical rainforest mountain streams in Puerto Rico provided the following new species of Psychodidae (Diptera) which are described, figured, and compared with other Caribbean taxa: Trichomyia flinti, T. sattelmairi, T. buchholzi, Arisemus buzbyae, A. mariannae, A. waidei, Philosepedon mauroae, Psychoda puertoricana, and Psychoda juliae. The period of emergence is indicated for six of these new species along with the flight period of Maruina hirta (Johannsen), and Quatiella interdicta (Quate). A key to the identification of these eleven species is included.
