In order to find additional new species and records of Psychodidae in GSMNP and obtain additional material for descriptions of previously collected new species, I propose to continue sampling with Malaise traps, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) traps and sweep netting. Particular attention will be given to locations where one or two specimens of unidentifiable genera have previously been collected, and areas where CDC trap samples have not previously been taken (e.g. Tremont, Metcalf Bottoms, Cades Cove). Inventory data will subsequently be recorded in the ATBI Database and added to the web-based, multi-access taxonomic (i.e. Lucid ®) keys and species fact sheets which are already in production.
