discussion
Discussion. The species was described from Greenland (Rübsaamen, 1898), and redescribed and illustrated by Menzel & Mohrig (2000), with the discussion of the type material. Trichocoelina cochleata is characterized by having a medially impressed gonostylus, with a strongly curved apical part. The antennal scapus and pedicellus as well as the hypopygium and legs are yellow, but the apex of gonostylus has strikingly dark setosity. The gonostylus bears 6 – 7 rather long and slender gonostylar megasetae, the tegmen is broadly subconical with a sclerotized dorsoapical process. The intergonocoxal lobes of the hypopygium are short. For similar species, see under Trichocoelina aemula sp. n. and T. semusta sp. n.
