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

( Figs. 22A–H View FIGURES 22 A – H )

Diagnosis. Gonocoxites with posterior arm tapering apically, anterior margin with a row of small rod-like setae; two pairs of digitiform projections in the aedeagal complex; the inner projection about twice longer than lateral projection; ejaculatory apodeme short, 0.3 times the length of gonostylus; cercus with two short apical bristles.

Description. Male. Head subcircular in frontal view. Antenna incomplete in the studied specimens; scape subcylindrical; pedicel subspherical ( Fig. 22A View FIGURES 22 A – H ); flagellomeres pyriform and eccentric ( Fig. 22A View FIGURES 22 A – H ); ascoids 1.8 times as long as the length of flagellomere ( Fig. 22C View FIGURES 22 A – H ). Palpus three segmented; first segment with sensilla in depressed pit on medial surface; palpus formula 1.0:0.6:0.6 ( Fig. 22B View FIGURES 22 A – H ). Wing. R4+5 incomplete at base; r-m and m-cu absent ( Fig. 22D View FIGURES 22 A – H ). Male terminalia: Hypandrium and gonocoxites fused. Gonocoxites with posterior arm tapering apically; anterior margin with a row of small rod-like setae ( Fig. 22G View FIGURES 22 A – H ). Gonostylus slightly sclerotized, articulated ventrally to gonocoxite, bare, curved ( Figs. 22G, 22E View FIGURES 22 A – H ). Presence of two pairs of digitiform projections in the aedeagal complex; the inner projection about twice longer than lateral projection ( Figs. 22G, 22E View FIGURES 22 A – H ). Aedeagus ending at apex of projections in the aedeagal complex ( Fig. 22G View FIGURES 22 A – H ). Ejaculatory apodeme short, 0.3 times the length of gonostylus. Epandrium longer than wide. Cercus piriform ( Fig. 22H View FIGURES 22 A – H ) with two short apical bristles ( Fig. 22F View FIGURES 22 A – H ). Hypoproct with apical micropilosity ( Fig. 22H View FIGURES 22 A – H ).

Female. Unknown.
