Key to the genera of Psychodini View in CoL known from the Afrotropical region
The following key works for most species of Psychodini known from the Afrotropical region, apart from a few discussed below as unplaced. It is, however, probable that several further genera remain unrecorded and/or undescribed.
1. Labellum flat, with row of apical ''teeth'' (e.g. Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 D)........................................................ 2
-. Labellum bulbous, without apical ''teeth'' (e.g. Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 A)........................................................ 4
2 (1). Surstyli with single distal tenaculum................................................... Psychoda Latreille, 1796 View in CoL
-. Surstylus with several tenacula in a distal transverse row...................................................... 3
3 (2). Ascoids with three branches. Genitalia symmetrical..................................... Neomaruina Vaillant, 1963 View in CoL
-. Ascoids with two branches. Genitalia asymmetrical........................ Rhipidopsychoda Vaillant, 1991 stat.restit.
4 (2). Tenacula in two groups; one group spatulate and one group filiform with complex apical expansions................................................................................................. Trichopsychoda Tonnoir, 1922 View in CoL
-. All tenacula generally spatulate, not expanded apically........................................................ 5
5 (4) Genitalia asymmetrical. Ascoids with two branches......................................... Threticus Eaton, 1904 View in CoL
