Three new generic synonymies are proposed: Pycnospina Razowski 1997 is a junior synonym of Lohogenesis Razowski 1990, with the new combination L. centrota (Razowski 1997); Osmaria Razowski 1991 is a junior synonym of Aiiopinci Obraztsov 1962, with the new combination A. psaeroptera (Razowski and Becker 1991); and Chirotes Razowski and Becker 1999, along with its replacement name, Prochi rotes Razowski 2001, are junior synonyms oi Strophotina Brown 1998, with the new combinations S. chorestis (Razowski and Becker 1999) and S. niphochondra (Razowski and Becker 1999).
