That is the one.
"As far as is known the [brevipennis] group consists of three species from Madeira (
brevipennis,
lucida,
antithrix), four nearctic species, about 10 neotropical species, mostly from Central America and undescribed, and the eastern palaearctic species
hirsuticauda. The latter species is closer to the nearctic species than the species from Madeira are."
