Abstract
The genus Tinodes (Psychomyiidae) has a wide distribution in the Eastern Hemisphere with the richest species assemblages in the Oriental and southern parts of the Western Palearctic regions. In comparison with the species assemblages in those regions, diversity of the African species of this genus is relatively poor. A brief review of the 10 then-known Afrotropical species belonging to the genus Tinodes was published by Johanson & Oláh (2007) together with descriptions of 14 new species. Some of these new species came from the Eastern African Arc of crystalline mountains, although 5 species have been found in Madagascar and the Comoros where no species of the genus Tinodes have been known previously. These new findings suggest continuing poor knowledge of the Afrotropical faunas where many species escaped descriptions until the beginning of the XXI century.
