Abstract | A study of type material of Tricoma (Tricoma) tertia Blome, 1982 revealed a mixture of two species: T. (T.) tertia and an unidentified Tricoma (Tricoma) species. Tricoma (Tricoma) tertia , currently know by the male holotype and one female paratype, is redescribed and the second species is described as Tricoma (Tricoma) blomei sp. n. Tricoma (Tricoma) brevirostris (Southern, 1914) Steiner, 1916 is reviewed. Tricoma brevirostris and T. euxenica are considered species inquirendae and T. brevirostris in Decraemer (1978, 1984) is here described as T. (T.) parabrevirostris , a new species. |
