Comments.
Bravo (2001b)
described
Trichomyia pedrabranquensis
based only on the
holotype
male; the elongate bristles on tergum 7 were not mentioned. These structures were lost in the
holotype
, but examinations of new specimens from the
type
locality and from Coração de Maria showed that elongate bristles are present on tergum 7.
Bravo (2001b)
misinterpreted the position of the gonostylus in this species, similar to the misinterpretation of the species originally described in
Septemtrichomyia
.
T. pedrabranquensis
can be recognized by its short ejaculatory apodeme in dorsal view, 0.5 times the length of gonostylus, by the presence of a row of rod-like setae on the distal margins of the gonocoxites, by the wide apex of the gonostylus, not ending in acute apex, and by the triangular and wide parameres.
