==Diagnosis==
''Leptosciarella trochanterata'' is one of the most common and variable species of the subgenus. It can normally be easily  recognized by the contrastingly bright hairs on the first abdominal tergites, the very slender gonostyles and the conspicuously long tibial spines, which are unique for the genus. The wings are often hyaline with distinctive and numerous macrotrichia on the posterior veins and have a conspicuous anal angle. The antennal segments are broad and stout with dense hairs and the postpronotum has a row of fine hairs. Nevertheless there are specimens, in which one ore more of these characters are not expressed in the typical form. The quite similar species ''[[Leptosciarella hispida]]'' is distinguished by the presence of setae on the laterotergite and completely bright abdominal setae.
+
 
 +
''Trichosiopsis trochanterata'' has nearly the same genitalic characters as all the other species of the ''trochanterata'' complex (elongate simple gonostylus and bright hairs on the first abdominal tergites. Unlike the remaining species it is easily recognizable by the completely yellow-coloured legs and the slightly fumose wings. The gonostylus is very long and gradually tapering towards the apex. It shows an indistinct apical angle. The ventral part is slightly concave.

The COI sequence is assigned to BIN {{BIN|ACM3303}} (average distance 0.46%, max. 1.14%, n=17, K2P: 9.79%).

 +
==Discussion==
 +
The name ''Trichosiopsis trochanterata'' was formerly used for a complex of similar species. These 12 species were or would have been formerly included under the name ''Tr. trochanterata'' and thus constitute the ''trochanterata'' complex:
 +
 
 +
''Trichosiopsis trochanterata'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis saltuum]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis doczkali]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis intermedia]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis extra]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis sveae]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis kathrinae]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis zanti]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis hispida]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis coarctata]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis incognita]]'' - ''[[Trichosiopsis hirsutissima]]''
 +
 
 +
The species of the ''trochanterata'' complex mostly share the following characters: Eye-bridge very broad; antennal flagellomeres short, with short necks and densely covered with bright hairs; palpi long, particularly the first palpomere; posterior pronotum setose, with numerous, fine hairs; setae on fore coxa bright; base of gonocoxites without modification; gonostylus long and slender. The last four species additionally have some setae on the laterotergite.
 +
 
 +
Those species genetically constitute a natural monophyletic group and may at some time be considered to belong to a distinct subgenus.
 +
The cryptic or semi-cryptic diversity in this complex could only be revealed and structured by DNA barcoding. Most literature records of ''Tr. trochanterata'' and the only remaining synonym therefore need to be checked in order to apply the correct valid names. Even the identification of females may be possible, because the colouration of the legs, wing and body hairs has proven to be very important for the separation of species in this complex.

Wing length 3–3.9 mm.

Etymology

gr. trochanter = referring to the coxal appendage of the arthopod leg.

Ecology

Not known in detail, mainly found in forests. The species is sometimes found in large abundance.

Diagnosis

Trichosiopsis trochanterata has nearly the same genitalic characters as all the other species of the trochanterata complex (elongate simple gonostylus and bright hairs on the first abdominal tergites. Unlike the remaining species it is easily recognizable by the completely yellow-coloured legs and the slightly fumose wings. The gonostylus is very long and gradually tapering towards the apex. It shows an indistinct apical angle. The ventral part is slightly concave.

DNA Barcoding

The COI sequence is assigned to BIN BOLD:ACM3303 (average distance 0.46%, max. 1.14%, n=17, K2P: 9.79%).

Discussion

The name Trichosiopsis trochanterata was formerly used for a complex of similar species. These 12 species were or would have been formerly included under the name Tr. trochanterata and thus constitute the trochanterata complex:

Trichosiopsis trochanterata - Trichosiopsis saltuum - Trichosiopsis doczkali - Trichosiopsis intermedia - Trichosiopsis extra - Trichosiopsis sveae - Trichosiopsis kathrinae - Trichosiopsis zanti - Trichosiopsis hispida - Trichosiopsis coarctata - Trichosiopsis incognita - Trichosiopsis hirsutissima

The species of the trochanterata complex mostly share the following characters: Eye-bridge very broad; antennal flagellomeres short, with short necks and densely covered with bright hairs; palpi long, particularly the first palpomere; posterior pronotum setose, with numerous, fine hairs; setae on fore coxa bright; base of gonocoxites without modification; gonostylus long and slender. The last four species additionally have some setae on the laterotergite.

Those species genetically constitute a natural monophyletic group and may at some time be considered to belong to a distinct subgenus. The cryptic or semi-cryptic diversity in this complex could only be revealed and structured by DNA barcoding. Most literature records of Tr. trochanterata and the only remaining synonym therefore need to be checked in order to apply the correct valid names. Even the identification of females may be possible, because the colouration of the legs, wing and body hairs has proven to be very important for the separation of species in this complex.

The Korean “Trichosiopsis trochanterata[4][5] probably does not belong to this complex and is excluded from the material studied. The corresponding BIN BOLD:ACD7182 indicates a closer relationship with Trichosiopsis yerburyi and Trichosiopsis rejecta.
