Trichomyia ribeiroi Araújo & Bravo View in CoL sp. nov.

( Figs. 40A–H View FIGURES 40 A – H )

Diagnosis. A pair of basal curved expansion on gonocoxite; arm of gonocoxite bifurcate, with apical and basal bristles; one pair of sclerotized curved projections in the aedeagal complex; ejaculatory apodeme long, 1.5 times the length of gonostylus; cercus with about four apical setae

Description. Male. Head subcircular in frontal view. Antenna with 13 flagellomeres; scape and pedicel subspherical; basal flagellomeres pyriform and eccentric; ascoids 1.6 times as long as the length of flagellomere ( Fig. 40A View FIGURES 40 A – H ); 13th flagellomere subcylindrical with terminal apiculus separated by a suture ( Fig. 40C View FIGURES 40 A – H ). Palpus three segmented; first segment with sensilla in depressed pit on medial surface; palpus formula 1.0:0.5:0.7 ( Fig. 40B View FIGURES 40 A – H ).

Wing. Wings of paratypes have tip of sc unsclerotized; sc-r is unsclerotized; R4+5 incomplete at base; r-m and m-cu absent ( Fig. 40E View FIGURES 40 A – H ). Male terminalia: Hypandrium and gonocoxites fused with a pair of basal curved expansion, in dorsal view, fused apically. Arm of gonocoxite bifurcate, with apical and basal bristles. Gonostylus slightly sclerotized, articulated ventrally to gonocoxite, bare, subtriangular. Presence of one pair of sclerotized curved projections in the aedeagal complex with apex directed laterally. Aedeagus simple, with a single opening ( Figs. 40G, 40H View FIGURES 40 A – H ). Ejaculatory apodeme long, 1.5 times the length of gonostylus. Epandrium subquadrangular pilose. Cercus pilose, expanded in the base and elongated, with about four apical setae. Hypoproct with apical micropilosity ( Fig. 40D View FIGURES 40 A – H ).

Female. Unknown.

Etymology. Named in honor of José Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva, defender environmentalist of Amazon, killed in 2011.

Distribution. Brazil—Amazonas, Pará.
