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

( Figs. 30A–F View FIGURES 30 A – F )

Diagnosis. Triangular projection on gonocoxite, covering apex of projections in the aedeagal complex; arm of gonocoxite curved with a spur-like bristle apically; ejaculatory apodeme short, 0.7 times the length of gonostylus. Description. Male. Head subcircular in frontal view. Antenna with 13 flagellomeres; scape and pedicel subspherical; basal flagellomeres pyriform and centric; ascoids 1.2 times as long as the length of flagellomere ( Fig. 30A View FIGURES 30 A – F ); 13th flagellomere subcylindrical with terminal apiculus separated by a suture ( Fig. 30C View FIGURES 30 A – F ). Palpus three segmented; first segment with sensilla in depressed pit on medial surface; palpus formula 1.0:0.5:0.5 ( Fig. 30B View FIGURES 30 A – F ). Wing. R4+5 with base unsclerotized; r-m unsclerotized and m-cu absent ( Fig. 30D View FIGURES 30 A – F ). Male terminalia: Hypandrium and gonocoxites fused with a triangular projection, covering apex of projections in the aedeagal complex. Arm of gonocoxite pilose, curved, with a spur-like apical bristle and thinner bristles of the same length basally. Gonostylus slightly sclerotized, articulated ventrally to gonocoxite, bare, curved and digitiform. Aedeagal complex with one pair of subcircular fused projections, and with a pilose structure at apex. Aedeagus bifid ending at medial region of projections in the aedeagal complex ( Fig. 30F View FIGURES 30 A – F ). Ejaculatory apodeme short, 0.7 times the length of gonostylus. Epandrium wider than long. Cercus pilose. Hypoproct with apical micropilosity ( Fig. 30E View FIGURES 30 A – F ).

Female. Unknown.
