Trichomyia (Septemtrichomyia) pedrabranquensis Bravo

Trichomyia pedrabranquensis Bravo, 2001b: 131 –132, Figs. 24–28 .

Comments. Bravo (2001b) described Trichomyia pedrabranquensis based only on the holotype male; the elongate bristles on tergum 7 were not mentioned. These structures were lost in the holotype, but examinations of new specimens from the type locality and from Coração de Maria showed that elongate bristles are present on tergum 7. Bravo (2001b) misinterpreted the position of the gonostylus in this species, similar to the misinterpretation of the species originally described in Septemtrichomyia.

T. pedrabranquensis can be recognized by its short ejaculatory apodeme in dorsal view, 0.5 times the length of gonostylus, by the presence of a row of rod-like setae on the distal margins of the gonocoxites, by the wide apex of the gonostylus, not ending in acute apex, and by the triangular and wide parameres.

Material examined. Type material: Holotype 3, BRAZIL, Bahia, Serra da Jibóia, 24.VIII.2000, F. Bravo leg. ( MZFS).
