Examination of material from the collections of the Muséum d’histoire naturelle, Genève, and of reared material collected by the Swiss Federal Institute WSL Birmensdorf has led to six new species of Lonchaea being recorded from Switzerland. The male genitalia of one of these species, i. e. Lonchaea hyalipennis Zetterstedt, 1847, are illustrated for the first time.
