Head ( Figs 36–37 ): orange, rostrum with second and third segments black; compound eyes black and rounded, arranged transversely; vertex smooth, rectangular, lacking median carina; ocelli closer to each other than to compound eyes; tylus rectangular, smooth, lacking median carina. Antennae black, pedicel sparsely setose, subcylindrical basal body of flagellum with arista longer than pedicel; postclypeus orange, inflated, with convex profile, three longitudinal carinae, lateral grooves strongly marked; rostrum extending to mesocoxae. Thorax ( Figs 36–37 ): orange; pronotum orange, hexagonal, lacking median carina, anterior margin straight, lateral-anterior margins straight, lateral posterior margin slightly sinuous, posterior margin grooved; scutellum orange, with slight central concavity, lacking horizontal grooves; tegmina basal ¼ orange, distal ¾ black with central longitudinal orange stripe not reaching distal wing margin; hindwings hyaline with reddish brown venation, Cu1 not thickened at base; all legs with tibiae and tarsi black; metathoracic tibia with two lateral spines (basal spine smaller than those located in apical crown, apical spine larger); apical crown with two rows of spines; basitarsus with two rows of spines covered by sparse setae; subungueal process present and rectangular. Abdomen : black. Genitalia : Male : Pygofer ( Fig. 35 ) with two processes between the subgenital plates and anal tube, upper process rounded and lower process digitiform; subgenital plates ( Fig. 35 ) long with digitiform apex and one rounded process on dorsal margin; parameres ( Fig. 34 ) each with small subapical spine directed dorsally; aedeagus ( Fig. 31–32 ) cylindrical with three apical dorsal processes, two of which are fin-like and the other is triangular, one ventral hood-like process. Female ( Fig. 33 ): First valvula of ovipositor long and slender with acute apex and basal process developed, long, directed posteriorly; second valvulae long, dorsal margin smooth, lacking serrations; third valvulae short and wide, with long setae ventrally. Measurements (mm). Body length: Ƥ 13.2, 3 10.5–11.3; pronotal length: Ƥ 2.0, 3 1.7–2.0; forewing length: Ƥ 10.5, 3 8.7–10.0; maximum width of head, including eyes: Ƥ 2.5, 3 2.2–2.4; width between humeral angles: Ƥ 3.3, 3 3.1–3.3. Distribution. PERU : Madre de Dios Department. Remarks. This species resembles M. fortunata (Lallemand) in general morphology and in the shape of the male aedeagus; however the paramere morphology differs between the two species. Etymology. The species name “ mimica ” refers to the resemblance in coloration of this species to that of Laccogrypota valida (Distant) , L. praelata (Jacobi) , and L. grandis (Distant) . Material examined.
