Trichomyia cirrata was described by Coquillett (1902) based on four female specimens collected in Frontera, in the state of Tabasco, Mexico. Satchell (1956) later redescribed the female and described the male based on six females and one male specimen from Brazil. Yet, as discussed by Duckhouse (1974), it is doubtful if they were conspecific with Coquillett´s species. Thus, he redescribed T. cirrata based on the unique type conserved, designed by him as lectotype (USNM, slide N° 6309). The male remains undescribed, and there are no additional specimens yet available.
