A contribution to Philippine Psychodidae (Diptera) mainly from emergence traps at streams in Palawan, with two new genera and five new species

Two new genera and five new species of Psychodinae, namely Archipelomyia coronata gen. n. et sp. n., Neotelmatoscopus expectandus sp. n., Nototelmatoscopus cabayuganensis sp. n., Palawanmyia styltenaculata gen. n. et sp. n. and Paramormia serrata sp. n. are described based on male specimens collected from the island and intra-Philippine biogeographic region of Palawan. Brunettia (Horobrunettia) amoena Quate or a currently morphologically indistinguishable species is recorded for the first time from the island. Diagnostic characters are illustrated by line drawings. Problems with the generic assignment of the new species are discussed. Two Psychodinae larvae, Neotelmatoscopus sp. and an unidentified morph, are recorded from one of the collecting sites and illustrated using photomicrographs. Aspects of emergence trap collection and taxonomic impediments in Oriental Psychodidae are briefly elaborated upon. An updated checklist of Psychodidae recorded from the Philippines is provided.
