Abstract

The type material of five species of the genus Trichomyia described by Quate were analyzed and new characters, not described in the original descriptions, are described and figured. All specimens analyzed were males. Were studied four Neotropical specimens, T. biloba Quate, 1999, T. dolickakis Quate, 1996, T. intricate Quate, 1996, and T. xaniostylis Quate, 1996, and T. trukensis Quate, 1959 from Micronesian region.
