SubfamilyXiphocentroninae Ross
Only the genus Melanotrichia Ulmer is known from Japan.
Three species belonging to this genus have been recorded from Japan. Kibuneopsychomyia Tsuda 1942 (described originally in Psychomyiidae) and Tsukushitrichia Kobayashi 1964 (described originally in Hydroptilidae) were synonymized
with Melanotrichia by Schmid (1982) and Barnard & Dudgeon (1984), respectively.
