I should check this issue. Unfortunately the identification of Psychodidae at the species level is very difficult and requires a rather special set of knowledge not usable in even other Nematoceran groups.

C. albipunctata used to be Psychoda albipunctata till the 1930s, so this still creates some confuion.


I am a little bit puzzled, because the distribution data suggests that C. albipunctata does not have a world-wide distribution, which it really shoud have if it is one of the common drain flies. This means that either the distribution data is wrong, or more likely the moth flies that I see around drains in various parts of the world belong to closely related Clogmia species. So it is best to leave this as possible Clogmia species.
