Comm.: This constitutes one of the most diverse genera of the fauna of Neotropical non-haematophagous psychodids, with 74 extant species (Araújo & Bravo 2013) and 8 fossil ones described ( Quate 1961, 1963, Stebner & Solórzano-Kraemer 2014). Although four new subgenera have been proposed from the Neotropics ( Bravo 1999, 2001, Araújo & Bravo 2013, Bravo & Araújo 2013a), most of the species described remain ungrouped, including two of the five species recorded in Colombia.
