Feuerborniella is a genus of flies belonging to the family Psychodidae. [3]
The species of this genus are found in Europe, Asia, Northern and Southern America.
Psychodidae, also called drain flies, sink flies, filter flies, sewer flies, or sewer gnats, is a family of true flies. Some genera have short, hairy bodies and wings, giving them a "furry" moth-like appearance, hence one of their common names, moth flies. Members of the sub-family Phlebotominae, which are hematophagous, may be called sand flies in some countries, although this term is also used for other unrelated flies.
The Phlebotominae are a subfamily of the family Psychodidae. In several countries, their common name is sandfly, but that name is also applied to other flies. The Phlebotominae include many genera of blood-feeding (hematophagous) flies, including the primary vectors of leishmaniasis, bartonellosis and pappataci fever.
The Psychodinae are the nominate subfamily of moth flies (Psychodidae), also known as drain flies. Like most of their relatives, they are usually found in damp habitats; some occur in caves. The small larvae are aquatic or semi-terrestrial; the adults are winged and capable of flight. Psychodinae are found worldwide, including some subantarctic islands.
Girardia is a genus of freshwater planarians belonging to the family Dugesiidae.
Alloeodidicrum is a genus of drain flies in the subfamily Psychodinae. It consists of two species.
Maruina is a genus of moth flies in the family Psychodidae. There are at least 30 described species in Maruina. marui, diminutive for a fly.
Sycorax is a genus of moth flies and sand flies in the family Psychodidae. There are at least 40 described species in Sycorax.
Jungiella is a genus of fly belonging to the family Psychodidae.
Satchelliella is a genus of flies belonging to the family Psychodidae.
Philosepedon is a genus of flies belonging to the family Psychodidae.
Peripsychoda is a genus of flies belonging to the family Psychodidae.
Paramormia is a genus of flies belonging to the family Psychodidae.
Ulomyia is a genus of flies belonging to the family Psychodidae.
Boreofairchildia is a genus of moth flies in the subfamily Bruchomyiinae. Species have been recorded from the Americas, principally Central and South America, with many, including the type, transferred from the genus Nemopalpus.
Notofairchildia is a genus of moth flies in the subfamily Bruchomyiinae. Species have been recorded principally from South America, with many, including the type, transferred from the genus Nemopalpus.
Laurenceomyia is a genus of moth flies in the subfamily Bruchomyiinae. Species have been recorded principally from south America, with many, including the type, transferred from the genus Nemopalpus.
Bruchomyia is a genus of moth flies in the subfamily Bruchomyiinae. Species have been recorded principally from South America.
Didicrum is a genus of the family Psychodidae and has a handful of species studied so far. The discovery of this genus in Colombia represents a significant range extension for Didicrum as all previously described species of this genus are distributed in the Australasian region and the southernmost portion of South America.
