Abstract

The moth-fly genus Eurygarka Quate (Diptera: Psychodidae) is revised to include three species. Two new species: E. cyphostylus, n. sp. and E. nelderi, n. sp. from the southeastern United States are described. The adult male and female of E. helicis (Dyar) are redescribed. A key to adult males of the three known species of Eurygarka is provided. The generic placement of Eurygarka is discussed.
