Mycotretus fuscitarsis Lacordaire, 1842: 180[description]. Crotch 1876: 448; Gemminger and Harold 1876: 3693; Gorham 1888: 68; Kuhnt 1909: 73; Kuhnt 1911: 49; Blackwelder 1945: 466; Alvarenga 1994: 25; Skelley 1998: 16; Murgas 2006: 8. Lectotypeof Mycotretus fuscitarsis Lacordaire, 1842, here designated ( MRSN; Figure 36–37)
‘Orizaba [handwritten]\ LECTOTYPE[printed] Mycotretus fuscitarsis Lacordaire 1842[handwritten]’. Another specimen examined 1 female( MNRJ, dissected) ‘ColeÇão M. Alvarenga [printed]\ Cerro de Plumas, Mexico. Hoege. [printed]\B.C.A., Col.,VII. Mycotretus fuscitarsis. [printed]\1884 [printed]’.
Diagnosis Body shape rounded, TL: 4.63 mm(n = 1). Very similar to M. coccineusin all diagnostic features, except for the blackish tarsi ( Figures 38–39) and the occurrence in Mexico. Male genitalia: unknown. Female genitalia: vaginal process present, blunt swelling and elongate to the level of gonostyli.
Distribution Mexico( Figure 56).
Remarks More material and detailed studies are needed to verify whether M. fuscitarsisand M. coccineusneed to be synonymised or, on the other hand, be considered as two separated species. Currently, as we have examined only the lectotype(not dissected) and one conspecific female, we prefer not to propose a new synonym here.
