Comments:
The description of the species does not mention the presence of the key diagnostic characteristic of the subgenus: bristles on tergite VII. However,
Alexander
et al.
(2001)
associated this characteristic with the species, albeit without a formal description of the structure or material analysed. Therefore,
Araújo & Bravo (2012)
did not include it in
Septemtrichomyia
until further observations were made. In material found at the Natural History Museum, London, and identified by Quate in 1998, tergite VII had highly sclerotized lateral lobes and a scar indicating the presence of elongated bristles. According to these observations,
T. pedicillata
must be included in
Septemtrichomyia
.
