BB73878E06166F0EC9A4FD92FDD7F970.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Laurenceomyia peixotoi Santos, Brazil & Pinto sp. nov. Morphologically resembles species that have gonocoxite with apical spines also seen in Laurenceomyia capixaba (Santos, Falqueto & Alexander), Laurenceomyia dampfianus (Alexander), Laurenceomyia pilipes (Tonnoir), and Laurenceomyia similis (Wagner & Stuckenberg). The distal bifurcation of the radial vein is shared by these species. Laurenceomyia peixotoi sp. nov. can be distinguished from L. capixaba by presenting only one tuberculum on the gonocoxite while this species has two and L. dampfianus has no tuberculum on the gonocoxite. In L. pilipes the difference lies in the gonostylus, while in L. similis the difference is in the parameres and gonostyli. This new species is distinguished from other Laurenceomyia species by the bifurcated aspect of gonostylus and the presence of a slight tuberculum on its inner face.	en	Santos, Claudiney Biral Dos, Brazil, Reginaldo Peçanha, Pinto, Israel De Souza (2021): New species of Boreofairchildia Wagner & Stuckenberg and Laurenceomyia Wagner & Stuckenberg (Diptera: Psychodidae: Bruchomyiinae) from Brazil.

BB73878E06156F0BC9A4FA30FDC6FD48.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The Neotropical genus Boreofairchildia is composed by 14 species but Boreofairchildia parvus (Santos, Falqueto & Bravo) and Boreofairchildia alexanderi, Santos, Brazil & Pinto sp. nov. have their distribution in Brazil. Despite the increasing number of Bruchomyiinae studies, mainly in collaboration with Phlebotominae researchers, there is a gap between the real number of living Bruchomyiinae species and the number of described species. So, the description of new species and its relationships within the group and other psychodids remains very important for phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies that will help to understand the Bruchomyiinae evolution. Here, we slightly showed this importance increasing the geographical distribution of Boreofairchildia in South America. Also, we have shown the importance to use an objective classification based on cladistics analysis that allows to go beyond the morphological discussion.	en	Santos, Claudiney Biral Dos, Brazil, Reginaldo Peçanha, Pinto, Israel De Souza (2021): New species of Boreofairchildia Wagner & Stuckenberg and Laurenceomyia Wagner & Stuckenberg (Diptera: Psychodidae: Bruchomyiinae) from Brazil.
