Abstract:
The following Psychodidae Psychodinae are reported from israel: Tinearia alternata (Say), Tinearia alternicula (Quate), Psychoda cinerea Banks, Psychoda phalaenoides Linnaeus, Clogmia albipunctata (Williston), Paramormia ustulata (Walker), Telmatoscopus sarai (Salamanna), and Atrichobrunettia sp.. Panimerus freidbergi n.sp., and Pericoma kugleri n.sp. are described and figured. Tinearia alternicula (Quate) is for the first time recorded outside the Nearctic region. It has possibly been introduced into Israel with fowling organic matter, which is the preferred larval habitat.
