Abstract

We establish a diagnosis for Feuerborniella Vaillant, 1971, based on a re-description of its type species, Feuerborniella obscura (Tonnoir, 1919) and comment on earlier diagnoses. Feuerborniella sinefurcata Kvifte & Jaume-Schinkel, sp. nov. is described, based on material from Tanzania, representing the second Afrotropical species of the genus following Psychoda morogorica Wagner & Andersen, 2007 which we treat as Feuerborniella morogoricacomb. nov. We furthermore review earlier combinations, transferring Philosepedon ensiger Quate, 1996 and Philosepedon longistylus Quate, 1996 to Feuerborniellacomb. nov., and briefly discuss generic limits with Quatiella Botosaneanu & Vaillant, 1970 and Nielseniella Vaillant, 1971.
