Head. Eye bridge 5–6 rows of facets. LW-index of 4th antennal flagellar segment 1.9–2.2; neck 0.35–0.45 of segment width; Transition of basal part to neck pronounced. Antennal hairs shorter than segment width; sparse; salient. Palps darkened; normal; palpomeres 3. First palpomere thickened; with 13–20 bristles; with only some sparse sensillae. Second palpomere shortly oval. Third palpomere as long as first segment. Thorax. Colour very dark. Notum unicolorous. Thoracic setae long and strong; dark. Mesonotum with some weaker central bristles. Posterior pronotum bare. Laterotergite bare. Legs. Colour yellow, or yellow-brown. Hind coxae darkened. Hairs on fore coxae black. Frontal tibia with a patch of setae. Front tibial organ dark. Front tibial organ not bordered. Tibial setae on hind legs normal, shorter than tibial width. Tibial spurs of equal length. Claws untoothed. Wings. Wings slightly darkened, or very dark; of normal shape. Wing membrane without macrotrichia. Wing venation strong and clearly delimited. M-fork of normal shape. R1 inserting clearly after base of m-fork; posterior veins with macrotrichia; stM mainly with macrotrichia; cuA1 and cuA2 mainly with macrotrichia; bM bare; r-m mostly setose; bM:r-M 0.48–0.65; st-Cu:bM 0.5–0.65; r1:r 1.6–1.75; C:w 0.75–0.85. Halteres dark; of normal length. Abdomen. Abdominal setae strong and dense; dorsally dark; ventrally dark. Hypopygium concolour with abdomen; Length/Width 0.6–0.75 longer than wide. Base of gonocoxites with strong setae; gonocoxites broadly separated; inner margin of gonocoxites normally U-shaped; inner part of hypopygium scarcely setose; elongated setae on valves of hypopygium absent. Gonostylus elongate; 2.4–2.6 × longer than wide; Inner margin concave; apex tapered, or equally rounded. Apical tooth present; 1.75–1.95 × longer than broad; strong. Awl-like setae long, or normal; below apex present. Megasetae on inner part of gonostylus absent. Tegmen 0.6–0.75 × longer than broad; rectangular with rounded edges; normal; Central process absent.

Diagnosis

Trichosiopsis yerburyi is a very large and dark species and therefore quite easy to distinguish from other species of Trichosiopsis. Additionally the bare postpronotum (unusual for large species), the thickened first palpomere and the dark and strong setae at the front coxae make the identification this species unproblematic. The shape of the gonostyli resembles those of Trichosiopsis juniperi.

DNA Barcoding

The COI sequence is assigned to BIN BOLD:ACC6148 (average distance 0.21%, max. 0.9%, n=14, K2P: 8.74%).

Etymology

The species was named after the collector, J.W. Yerbury.

Ecology

Not known in detail, mainly found in forests.

Distribution

Austria[2], Czech Republic[3][4], Finland[5], Germany[2][6], Great Britain[1][7][2], Hungary[8], Ireland[2][7], Latvia[2], Norway[9],Slovakia[2], Sweden[10], Switzerland[11], Ukraine[2].
