“…The species Sycorax silacea Curtis, 1839 is proved to be haemotaphagous, and S. wampukrum Bravo & SalazarValenzuela, 2009 probably feeds of blood as well (Bravo & Salazar-Valenzuela 2009). According to Jezek's revision (1999), there were 30 species of Sycoracinae described worldwide.…”

“…According to Jezek's revision (1999), there were 30 species of Sycoracinae described worldwide. After that, eight new species were published in Neotropics (Bravo 2003(Bravo , 2007Bejarano et al 2008;Bravo & Salazar-Valenzuela 2009;Bravo et al 2010), taking to 38 species of Sycoracinae described to date, 14 of which occur in the Neotropics. Jezek (1999) included all the current species of Sycoracinae in Sycorax Curtis, 1839, although for Duckhouse (1972) and this subfamily possesses three genera: Aposycorax Duckhouse, 1972, with one species; Parasycorax Duckhouse, 1972, with four species; and Sycorax, with 33.…”

A new species of Sycorax Curtis, 1839 (Diptera, Psychodidae) from the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. Sycorax bravoi Santos, Ferreira & Falqueto sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on samples collected with a Möricke trap installed on the ground at the Biological Station of Santa Lúcia, municipality of Santa Teresa, in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. Males have a paramere with a spiniform prolongation on the distal surface and an aedeagus with a long posterior membranous dorsal prolongation. Females have a racket-shaped genital furca and tubular spermatheca, tapered on the apical third. This finding raises the number of Sycorax species known from Brazil to seven.

Sycorax peruensis sp.n. is the fi rst blood sucking fossil Psychodidae in South America. Th e new species mainly diff ers from all recent Neotropical Sycoracinae in its number of antennal segments. It is described from the middle Miocene Western Amazonian amber, which included an intertropical entomofauna previous to the land connection with Central and North America that occurred in the latest Miocene-Pliocene. Insects from this material are diverse with normal bias for amber inclusions of Diptera and Hymenoptera and small-sized specimens.
