Myrsidea mcleannani Sychra

Myrsidea mcleannani Sychra in Sychra et al. 2006: 52 View Cited Treatment . Type host: Phaenostictus mcleannani (Lawrence, 1860) .

This species was the first Myrsidea described from a member of the Thamnophilidae . It was described and illustrated in Sychra et al. (2006), and we need not repeat the details. Use of descriptive features will be limited to the minimum value for each range as given by Sychra et al. (2006) for certain dimensions and tergal setal counts for M. mcleannani as they are sufficient for comparison with our new species.

Female. Tergal setae (minimum value): I, 10; II, 17; III–IV, 20; V–VI, 19; VII, 14. Dimensions (minimum value): TW, 0.51; HL, 0.33; PW, 0.33; MW, 0.50; AWIV, 0.69; ANW, 0.31; TL, 1.70.

Male. Tergal setae (minimum value): I, 10; II, 16; III–IV, 20; V–VI, 18; VII, 16. Dimensions (minimum value): TW, 0.46; HL, 0.31; PW, 0.30; MW, 0.41; AWIV, 0.53; GL, 0.47; TL, 1.44.

Remarks. Both sexes of this species are readily separated from the other two species of this group by the consistently larger dimensions and more setae on the majority of the abdominal tergites.
