Abstract:
The first collections of Psychodidae available from the area of the Caucasus and from Iran have been studied. Seven species are new to science: Bazarella centuretinacula sp. n., Berdeniella caucasica sp. n., Clytocerus grusinicus sp. n., Saraiella ressli sp. n., Satchelliella joosti sp. n., Mormia georgica sp. n., and Philosepedon orientalis sp. n., Most new species are close relatives of European Psychodidae, except C. grusinicus the affinities of which remain doubtful. Six additional wide-spread species have also been found: Pericoma blandula Eaton, P. exquisita Eaton, Satchelliella nubila (Meigen), Peripsychoda auriculata (Curtis), Psychoda trinodulosa Tonnoir, and Mormia malickyi Vaillant.
