First phylogeny of Trichomyia (Diptera: Psychodidae: Trichomyiinae) based on morphological data of adults Author Araújo, Maíra Xavier Author Bravo, Freddy Author Carvalho, Claudio José Barros De text Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 2023 2023-03-21 198 3 871 900 http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlad004 journal article 53838 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlad004 cdc62e61-2f53-4065-b492-a7aa787ba405 0024-4082 8147516 19CB31B7-E41A-4BC4-B6FD-A759FB33B86F TRICHOMYIA ( BRACHIOTRICHOMYIA ) BRAVO & ARAÚJO , 2013 Brachiotrichomyia Bravo & Araújo, 2013: 330 . Type species: Trichomyia inermis Barretto, 1954 , by original designation. Species included: Trichomyia armata Barretto, 1954 ; Trichomyia braziliensis Satchell, 1956 ; Trichomyia inermis Barretto, 1954 ; Trichomyia plumata Araújo & Bravo, 2013 ; Trichomyia pseudodactylis Quate, 1996 ; Trichomyia quatei Bravo, 2001 ; and Trichomyia risaraldensis Bejarano, 2009 . Comments: Two synapomorphies allowed the recovery of Brachiotrichomyia : the basal starting point of the bifurcation of the aedeagus, close to the ejaculatory ducts (82-0), and feathered setae of the arm of gonocoxite. This subgenus was proposed by Bravo & Araújo (2013) to include some species, such as Opisthotrichomyia and Syntrichomyia , that present four segments on the palpus, with the first two partly fused. These species have gonocoxites projected dorsally and fused basally and an elongated arm with bristles lined on the inner margin. The gonostylus is C-shaped, but can be reduced in some species. The aedeagus is curved and fused at the apex, with an ovoid appearance. It includes species from Costa Rica , Colombia , Brazil and Panama . Other characteristics recovered in the phylogeny include: a long distance from the clypeus to the antennal socket (longer than or as long as the clypeus); wing with the base of M 2 with microtrichia; and male genitalia bearing hypoproct with an acuminated apex.
