Taxonomy of Neotropical Trichomyia (Septemtrichomyia) Bravo (Diptera, Psychodidae, Trichomyiinae) with descriptions of five new species

Abstract

Subgenus Septemtrichomyia Bravo of genus Trichomyia Haliday in Curtis was originally proposed to include four Neotropical species: T. botosaneanui Wagner, T. bou Bravo, T. cauga Bravo and T. mishi Bravo. Five new species are described for this subgenus: Trichomyia atlantica sp. nov., T. imarui sp. nov., T. jezeki sp. nov., T. amazonensis sp. nov. and T. sertaneja sp. nov.; five previously described species are included in Septemtrichomyia: T. dolichakis Quate, T. dolichopogon Alexander, Freitas & Quate, T. dolichothrix Quate, T. pedrabranquensis Bravo and T. sattelmairi Wagner & Masteller. A key to males of the 14 Neotropical species of Septemtrichomyia is presented.
