Saether erected the subgenus Peusomyia in 1970. He felt that the characters shared between pallidus and the Sayomyia species were plesiomorphic. He lists a number of characters which appeared to suggest that Peusomyia was more closely related to Schadanophasma and Chaoborus s.s. Let me know if you would like the ref, or a pdf of the relevant pages.
Thanks. I have Saether (1970). Borkent (1979, fig. 36) agreed they were distinct, but arranged subgenera differently. I must have only been paying attention to New World species when I read their papers.
