Abstract. The opinion of Vockeroth on the status of the genera Delina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 and Neochirosia Malloch, 1917 is discussed and accepted. The other differences between these genera are provided. A key to Neochirosia species, also descriptions and figures of male sternites 4–5 and terminalia are given for all species of the both genera. N. veratri (Hendel, 1925) should be treated as a good species. D. cepelaki (Teschner, 1978) is found to be a synonym of N. veratri (syn.n.). Description of a new species Neochirosia pechorica sp.n. from Arkhangelskaya Oblast’, Russia is given.
