The first collections of Psychodidae available from the area of the Caucasus and from Iran have been studied. Seven species are new to science:Bazarella centuretinaculasp. n.,Berdeniella caucasicasp. n.,Clytocerus grusinicussp. n.,Saraiella resslisp. n.,Satchelliella joostisp. n.,Mormia georgicasp. n., andPhilosepedon orientalissp. n. Most new species are close relatives of European Psychodidae, exceptClytocerus grusinicusthe affinities of which remain doubtful. Six additional wide‐spread species have also been found:Pericoma blandulaEaton,P. exquisitaEaton,Satchelliella nubila(Meigen),Peripsychoda auriculata(Curtis),Psychoda trinodulosaTonnoir, andMormia malickyiVaillant.
