Genus Psychomyia Latreille
Akagi (1959) described Psychomyia sp. PA based on not only the larva but also adult male, but the specific status of this species has not yet been solved. Furthermore, an unnamed species accompanied with an alphabetic code was described for a larva, but it was not associated with adults. Tsuda (1942) pointed out that Psychomyia pussila (Fabricius, 1781) recorded by Iwata (1927) was a mis-identification. The genus Psychomyiella Ulmer was treated to the genus Psychomyia Latreille by Malicky (1993) and Li and Morse (1997a). Tanida (1985, 2005) provided illustraions of a larva of this genus as a species of Melanotrichia (Xiphocentronidae) (Tanida 2018).
