Hypopygium (Fig. 4 B). Brown, as abdomen. Intergonocoxal area moderately long, with long, apically bifid setose lobe. Gonocoxa moderately broad, longer than gonostylus, medial margin basally strongly curved, with sparse setosity. Gonostylus (Fig. 6 B) long, apically tumid, impressed; with normal setosity, a long apical tooth, and one megaseta on the dorsal side of apical tooth, one subapical and 3–4 megasetae more basally, megasetae long and slender; with one well-differentiated whiplash seta on ventromedial margin. Tegmen as long as broad, laterally roundish, apically straight, weakly sclerotized; aedeagal teeth not detectable in the specimens studied. Aedeagal apodeme long.

Discussion. Trichocoelina dividua sp. n. is especially similar to T. jukkai sp. n. For further discussion of these and similar species, see under Trichocoelina dispansa sp. n.

Etymology. The name is Latin, dividua, parted, referring to the apically distinctly divided intergonocoxal lobe of hypopygium.
