Description An account of the family Psychodidae in the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area (south- astern Moravia, Czech Republic) is provided. In the course of a survey of 78 localities in 2005-2010 in the Moravian part of the White Carpathian Mts., a total of 39 genera and 108 species of moth flies were recorded, including many species considered threatened or rare in the Czech Republic at national level (13 species are classified as critically endangered, nine as endangered and four as vulnerable in the Red List of threatened invertebrates of the Czech Republic, and 28 additional species are known to occur only sparsely in the country). Psychomormia vaillanti (Wagner, 1977) and Apsycha pusilla (Tonnoir, 1922) are new for the fauna of Moravia and Philosepedon perdecorum Omelková et Ježek, 2012 and Pneumia kabelaki Omelková et Ježek, 2012 have been described from Kněždubský háj forest and Sidonie nature reserve respectively as new for science in parallel papers.
