Abstract

Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie de psicódido no hematófago, Trichomyia andina, a partir de machos recolectados en el Departamento de Risaralda, Colombia. Este psicódido pertenece al subgénero Opisthotrichomyia Bravo, 2001, y se distingue de las especies co-génericas por presentar un gonostilo ancho, multipartito, parcialmente serrado e infuscado, que termina en una larga punta translucida dirigida hacia adentro y atrás. El subgénero Opisthotrichomyia queda integrado ahora por siete especies, incluidas T. brevitarsa (Rapp, 1945), T. vargasi Barretto, 1954, T. nocturna Bravo, 2001, T. festiva Bravo, 2001, T. fluminensis Bravo, 2001, T. riodocensis Alexander, Freitas & Quate, 2001, y T. andina, sp. nov.
