Abstract
Trichomyia pintoi sp. nov. is described and illustrated from male specimens collected from the Atlantic Forest, southeastern Brazil. T. pintoi is grouped with the globally distributed Trichomyia that have 3 palpus segments. It is easily distinguished by the 8 strong spines inserted in the distal third of the gonocoxite. A checklist of described Western Hemisphere Trichomyia species is provided.
