Notes. The type series included the male holotype and about five-hundred-fifty male and female paratypes. The holotype labels area: “ Trichonta / fasciata [hw] / Freeman. / HOLOTYPE ” [printed on red label]” // [male terminalia on a microslide attached to a pinned plastic stripe]” // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “Bariloche / 25–28.xi.1926.” // “ Argentina: / Terr. Río Negro. / F. & M. Edwards / B.M. 1927–63.” // “BMNH(E) # / 254649”. Paratypes are numbered BMNH(E) # 254650-155. The wing of a paratype is on a slide mounting, together with wings of the paratypes of T. major and T. funerea (NHM Diptera slide collection).

T. funerea Freeman 1951: 96 View in CoL , figs. 186–187 (♂ terminalia), 310 (wing). Type-locality: Argentina, Río Negro, Bariloche. Holotype ♂, NHM.

( Figure 332 View FIGURES 320–332 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype and about seventy male and female paratypes, of which the holotype and sixty-two paratypes are at the NHM. The holotype labels are: “ Trichonta / funerea [hw] / Freeman. / HOLOTYPE ” [printed on red label]” // [male terminalia on a microslide attached to a pinned plastic stripe]” // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “Bariloche / 6–7.xi.1926.” // “ Argentina: / Terr. Río Negro. / F. & M. Edwards / B.M. 1927–63.” // “BMNH(E) # / 254586”. The paratypes are numbered BMNH(E) # 254587-648. The wing of a paratype is on a slide mounting, together with wings of the paratypes of T. major and T. fasciata (NHM Diptera slide collection).

T. major Freeman 1951: 95 View in CoL , figs. 182–183 (♂ terminalia), 308 (wing). Type-locality: Argentina, Rio Negro, Lago Correntoso. Holotype ♂, NHM.

( Figure 333 View FIGURES 333–341 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype and five female paratypes, of which the holotype and four females are at the NHM. The holotype labels are: “Coihué forest / near hotel.” [hw] // “ Trichonta / major [hw] / Freeman. / HOLOTYPE ” [printed on red label]” // [male terminalia on a microslide attached to a pinned plastic stripe]” // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “Lago Correntoso / 18– 25.xi.1926.” // “ Argentina: / Terr. Río Negro. / F. & M. Edwards / B.M. 1927–63.” // “BMNH(E) # / 254551”. The holotype is in excellent condition. Paratypes are numbered BMNH(E) # 254552-5. The wing of a paratype is on a slide mounting, together with wings of the paratypes of T. fasciata and T. funerea (NHM Diptera slide collection).

T. nubilipennis Freeman 1951: 94 View in CoL , figs. 180–181 (♂ terminalia), 309 (wing). Type-locality: Argentina, Rio Negro, Lago Correntoso. Holotype ♂, NHM.

( Figure 334 View FIGURES 333–341 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype, ten male and eight female paratypes, of which the holotype, nine male and seven female paratypes are at the NHM. The labels with the holotypes are: “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “ Trichonta / nubilipennis [hw] / Freeman. / HOLOTYPE ” [printed on red label]” // [male terminalia on a microslide attached to a pinned plastic stripe]” // “Lago Correntoso / 18–25.xi.1926.” // “ Argentina: / Terr. Río Negro. / F. & M. Edwards / B.M. 1927–63.” // “BMNH(E) # / 254556”. The holotype is in good condition and the apex of the abdomen is mounted together with the terminalia in the acetate sheet. The paratypes are numbered BMNH(E) # 254557-72 .

T. similis Freeman 1951: 96 View in CoL , figs. 185 (♂ terminalia). Type-locality: Argentina, Río Negro, Puerto Blest. Holotype ♂, NHM.

( Figure 335 View FIGURES 333–341 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype, two male and two female paratypes, all of which are at the NHM. The holotype labels are: “ Trichonta / fasciata [hw] / Freeman. / HOLOTYPE ” [printed on red label]” // [male terminalia on a microslide attached to a pinned plastic stripe]” // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “Nahuel Huapi, / Puerto Blest. / 2–3.xii.1926.” // “ Argentina: / Terr. Río Negro. / F. & M. Edwards / B.M. 1927–63.” // “BMNH(E) # / 254581”. The paratypes are numbered BMNH(E) # 254582-5 .

T. spinigera Freeman 1951: 95 View in CoL , figs. 184 (♂ terminalia). Type-locality: Argentina, Río Negro, Puerto Blest. Holotype ♂, NHM.

( Figure 336 View FIGURES 333–341 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype, five male and three female paratypes, of which the holotype, three male and four female paratypes are at the NHM, so Freeman may have misidentified one of the females as a male. The labels of the holotype are as follows: “ Trichonta / spinigera [hw] / Freeman. / HOLOTYPE ” [printed on red label]” // [male terminalia on a microslide attached to a pinned plastic stripe]” // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “Nahuel Huapi, / Puerto Blest. / 2–3.xii.1926.” // “ Argentina: / Terr. Río Negro. / F. & M. Edwards / B.M. 1927–63.” // “BMNH(E) # / 254573”. The holotype is in excellent condition and the terminalia has not been dissected. Paratypes are numbered BMNH(E) # 254574-80 .
