Further records of Pediciidae and Limoniidae (Diptera) from Azerbaijan and Georgia

Records of nine Pediciidae and 80 Limoniidae species (10 Limnophilinae, 38 Chioneinae, and 32 Limoniinae) are presented. Seventeen species are recorded for the first time from Azerbaijan and 14 from Georgia, of which 12 species are new to the whole of Transcaucasia. Three species are recorded for the first time since their original descriptions. Four subspecies of the genus Molophilus Curtis, 1833 are elevated to species rank, namely M. (M.) hebetatus Savchenko, 1976, n. stat., M. (M.) decoloratus Savchenko, 1978, n. stat., M. (M.) brachyurus Savchenko, 1978, n. stat., and M. (M.) cephaliger Savchenko, 1978, n. stat. Two synonymies are proposed, Gonomyia (Gonomyia) conoviensis Barnes, 1924 = G. (G.) oxybeles Alexander, 1975, n. syn. and Lipsothrix nobilis Loew, 1873 = L. iranica Alexander, 1975, n. syn.
