Diagnosis. The barcode of this species is most similar to that of M. paulizona from Colombia, from which it differs by 7.35% minimum p-distance. The wings of the two species are similar (Fig. 17, Table 3), but the forecoxa of M. winnizona is yellowish- brown, unlike the dark brown forecoxa of M. paulizona . One further difference of M. winnizona from other species in the complex, including M. paulizona, is that the ventral setae of the abdomen are noticeably coarser and have darkened sockets.

This species is in BOLD as BOLD:ADB8601.

Distribution. Costa Rica.

Etymology. Named for Winnie Hallwacks, a tropical biologist working in Costa Rica.
