Trichomyia confusa Araújo & Bravo View in CoL sp. nov.
( Figs. 11A–I View FIGURES 11 A – I )
Diagnosis. Hypandrium and gonocoxites fused forming a wide dorsal plate; two pairs of arms, the dorsal longer and wider than the ventral, curved, directed dorsally, with elongated bristles and apical setae, ventral arm curved, medially directed, bare and with pointed apex; gonostylus wide; ejaculatory apodeme short, the same length as gonostylus; cercus piriform with an apical row of rod-like setae.
Description. Male. Head subcircular in frontal view. Antenna with 13 flagellomeres; scape subcylindrical; pedicel subspherical; basal flagellomeres pyriform and centric; ascoids 1.4 times as long as the length of flagellomere ( Fig. 11A View FIGURES 11 A – I ), 13th flagellomere subcylindrical with terminal apiculus separated by a suture ( Fig. 11E View FIGURES 11 A – I ). Palpus three segmented; first segment with sensilla in depressed pit on medial surface; palpus formula 1.0:0.6:0.6 ( Fig. 11B View FIGURES 11 A – I ). Wing. R4+5 complete at base; r-m present and m-cu absent ( Fig. 11D View FIGURES 11 A – I ). Male terminalia: Hypandrium and gonocoxites fused forming a wide dorsal plate. Gonocoxites with two pairs of arms, the dorsal longer and wider than the dorsal, curved, directed dorsally, with elongated bristles and apical setae, about three. Ventral arm curved, medially directed, bare and with pointed apex( Fig. 11I View FIGURES 11 A – I ). Gonostylus slightly sclerotized, articulated ventrally to gonocoxite, bare, truncated, small and wide ( Fig. 11F View FIGURES 11 A – I ). Presence of three pairs of projections in the aedeagal complex; one sclerotized pair, curved and with tip directed distally, and the other two little sclerotized, with the same origin but different directions, one thinner, the other thicker than the sclerotized. Aedeagus ending at middle portion of projections in the aedeagal complex ( Fig. 11C View FIGURES 11 A – I ). Ejaculatory apodeme short, the same length as gonostylus. Epandrium pilose, subquadrangular ( Fig. 11H View FIGURES 11 A – I ). Cercus piriform with a row of five apical rod-like setae, in dorsal view ( Fig. 11G View FIGURES 11 A – I ). Hypoproct with apical micropilosity ( Fig. 11H View FIGURES 11 A – I ).
Female. Unknown.
