Labellum flattened, bearing 3 – 6 digitiform setae (teeth) on apex. Premental apodeme absent. Antenna with 12 – 14 flagellomeres, the ones apical to the 11 th always reduced, fused or not in different combinations, and sometimes with small digitiform setae (“ spines ”). Ascoids generally Y-shaped, but in some species with one posterior and tree anterior branches (Ψ-shaped). Vein R 5 ending at acute wing apex, radial fork always apical to the medial fork. Gonocoxites widely separated by the hypandrium, male surstylus bearing a single apical tenaculum. Aedeagus nearly always asymmetrical with a single paramere. Female subgenital plate bilobed, rarely trilobed, genital digit frequently present.	en	Cordeiro, Danilo, Bravo, Freddy, De, Claudio J. B.

03A8E828FF9A290ADCB575D1FE7EFBBC.taxon	discussion	Comments. Albeit we have adopted here the broad definition of Psychoda by Bravo et al. (2006), we do not use their subgeneric classification, which correspond to genera previously proposed by Ježek (1984) and Ježek & van Harten (1996, 2005). Bravo et al. (2006) considered the classification proposed by Ježek (1984) and Ježek & van Harten (1996, 2005) to represent an advance in the taxonomy of the group, because it allowed the recognition of morphological units not previously recognized by Quate (1959 a) and Vaillant (1990), but they did not find justification to maintain separate genera. Even though dividing of a group as large as Psychoda might be desirable, we believe that such units should follow a cladistic hypothesis, in the aim to represent natural groups, and that the emphasis given to the variations seen on the antenna apex morphology in the groups of Ježek (1984) and Bravo et al. (2006) may be in fact oversplitting the taxa and maybe also masking other important characters. As can be seen in the comments for each species in this work, most of them do not agree with all diagnostic characters of one subgenera (only two of our new species can be classified in one of the subgenera: Psychoda serrana sp. nov. and Psychoda speculata sp. nov., both in the subgenus Psychodocha). If we were to use the subgenera proposed by Bravo et al. (2006) or the genera of Ježek (1984), we would have to erect new subgenera / genera for our remaining new species and also for some previously described ones, to account for variations in the apical flagellomeres. If we want to make a classification based on a hypothesis of evolution, we believe that this morphological variation alone should not be considered to propose new names. As stated by Ježek & van Harten (2005), broader comparative morphological studies that take other characters into consideration, besides the apical flagellomeres, are necessary to recognize natural groups within Psychoda. Description of males of all species in this work would surely improve the discussion about the subgeneric / generic classification, but still the variations of antenna apex would require a redefinition of these groups and maybe also new names.	en	Cordeiro, Danilo, Bravo, Freddy, De, Claudio J.

03A8E828FF9D290FDCB574AEFE08FD0F.taxon	discussion	Comments. Psychoda alternicula and P. alternata, together with P. lativentris Berdén, compose the species complex known as the “ alternata complex ” (Quate 1955). This species group is characterized by the presence of brown spots (infuscation) on the wing apex, antenna with 13 flagellomeres, 11 th- 13 th reduced upwardly and the short arms of the ascoids. This features are also the diagnostic characters of the subgenus Tinearia, and it seems to delimit a very homogeneous group of species. These species can be distinguished from one another mainly by the female terminalia. Psychoda alternata has a V-shaped subgenital plate, whereas the subgenital plate of P. alternicula is shaped as a Y, with a prominent basal band. Psychoda lativentris has a U-shaped subgenital plate, with a prominent basal band, as in P. alternicula. Few inconspicuous differences are present in the male terminalia: P. alternata has a robust paramere that is as long as the distiphallus, whereas P. alternicula has a thinner paramere that is curved and shorter than the distiphallus; the paramere of P. lativentris is thin and shorter than the distiphallus (according to Quate (1955 )).	en	Cordeiro, Danilo, Bravo, Freddy, De, Claudio J.

03A8E828FF9E290FDCB573F7FE8AF8FB.taxon	discussion	Comments. according to Cordeiro & Bravo (2008), this species is likely obligatorily viviparous, making it the only known viviparous species in Psychoda. Four-branched ascoids are found only on two subgenera of Psychoda: Falsologima and Apsycha comb. nov, but in the subgenus Falsologima the females have three-branched ascoids. Although the long setae seen on gonotylus of males of this species is also a character of subgenus Falsologima, the number of apical flagellomeres and the shape of female ascoid clearly separate it from this subgenus. Also, according to original description and key of Ježek (2007), in the subgenus Apsycha the 13 th and 14 th flagellomeres are separated and also 14 th is shortly spindle-shaped, what is not true for P. amazonensis. This species cannot be also assigned to any of other subgenera of Psychoda because of differences between the pattern of fusion of the three apical flagellomeres. Psychoda amazonensis is morphologicaly similar to P. quiniversa Quate (Costa Rica) in the following characters: shape of the antennal apex; pattern of the frons pilosity; female ascoids with 3 upper arms; male with no paramere; ventral pilosity of the gonocoxal bridge; and gonostylus with one long basal setae. However, Psychoda amazonensis has 4 facet rows on the eye bridge, subgenital plate reduced and long gonocoxal bridge, whereas Psychoda quiniversa has 5 facet rows, subgenital plate normal and gonocoxal bridge short. The last character, of diagnostic value according to our observations, is frequently neglected in the descriptions of Psychoda. We believe that more attention should be given to this character, and to the pattern of pilosity of the female subgenital plate and male gonostylus.	en	Cordeiro, Danilo, Bravo, Freddy, De, Claudio J.

03A8E828FF9F290EDCB571B7FA43F862.taxon	discussion	Comments. when describing P. buxoides, Quate (1996) distinguished it from the other species of Psychoda by the concavity between the apical lobes of the subgenital plate. This feature is also found in P. aitkeni Quate. We suspect about the synonym of this two species, but as no type material of P. aitkeni was examined, we can not conclude this. Moreover, in the description of P. aitkeni, Quate (1959 b) stated that the eyes of this species are separated by 1.0 facet diameters and also provided a figure of the subgenital plate, showing lateral lobuli in the base of the subgenital plate. In the examined material, the distance between eyes ranged between 1.3 – 2.7 facet diameters (1.5 in the original description of P. buxoides), and no lobuli was seen in the base of subgenital plate. This two species must be closely related as evidenced by the morphological characters, including the particular internal ornamentation of subgenital plate. In the description of P. buxoides, Quate (1996) did not present a good representation of the pilosity found in the Subgenital plate, but the pattern found in the holotype is exactly the same found in the Brazilian specimens. Quate (1996) also represented the second and third palpal segments as being of the same length. We have observed some variation in the relative lengths of these structures in specimens from Brazil, which have the 2 nd palpal segment generally a little shorter than the third. Because all Brazilian specimens studied by us had a broken antenna, our description of the antenna apex is based on the original description and on the holotype of P. buxoides. No males were found in the available material from Brazil. This species has the characteristics of the subgenus Psychodocha, except for the presence of spines on the 11 th and 13 th flagellomeres, as seen on the holotype. P. buxoides is similar to Psychoda matogrossensis sp. nov. in the presence of a frontoclypeal suture, but can be distinguished from it by the shape of the apical concavity of the subgenital plate, subrectangular in P. buxoides and concave in the other. This is the first record of P. buxoides in Brazil.	en	Cordeiro, Danilo, Bravo, Freddy, De, Claudio J. B.

03A8E828FF902903DCB577AAFE37FE27.taxon	discussion	Comments. the association of the female with the male of P. dantilandensis is based on the shape of the antenna, the pattern of vertex pilosity (unique in Brazilian species of Psychoda), the presence of a frontoclypeal suture and the absence of an apical projection on the distitarsus. Moreover, the females were collected in the same locality and two of them in the same month as the males. However, the females analyzed did not show the triangular patch of alveoli between the eyes, present in all males. The sexual dimorphism in this species needs to be further evaluated, based on a larger sample. As stated by Bravo, Cordeiro & Chagas (2006), this species could be assigned to the subgenus Psychodocha.	en	Cordeiro, Danilo, Bravo, Freddy, De, Claudio J. B.

03A8E828FF942905DCB57341FC3CF87A.taxon	discussion	Comments. Albeit the figures of the genitalia provided by Quate (1996, figs. 25 e-f) show a deeper apical concavity of the subgenital plate, the holotype examined had a shallow concavity, as in the Brazilian specimens. In the original description Quate noted some variations on the shape of this structure, like “ the base being broader and the sides more convergent in some species ”, but he made no mention to the apical concavity. We believe that the identical internal ornamentation and shape of genital chamber, together with all other characters, is an evidence that this is an intraspecific variation. The shape of subgenital plate and the incomplete forks in the wing ressemble P. mediocris Quate (Micronesia), but the two species can be differenciated by the internal ornamentation of subgenital plate and apical flagellomeres, that are subequal in size and clearly separated in P. mediocris. The number of flagellomeres and shape of ascoid of P. litotes is similar to what is found in the subgenus Ypsydocha, but the 11 th and 12 th flagellomeres are not fused as described for this subgenus. This is the first record of this species to Brazil.	en	Cordeiro, Danilo, Bravo, Freddy, De, Claudio J. B.

This species is similar to P. complexa sp. nov. and P. obeliske Quate (Costa Rica) mainly by the incomplete forks of wing, and large rod-like structure on inner face of subgenital plate, but they can be differenciated by the internal ornamentation, apical concavity of the subgenital plate and by the genital chamber, that presents a conspicuous posterior apodeme in P. bahiensis sp. nov. and P. obeliske, absent in P. complexa sp. nov. As the apical flagellomeres are missing, this species cannot be assigned to any subgenera.
