Remarks.
Here we confirm that a female described as “
Myrsidea
sp. 2” by
Sychra
et al.
(2007)
is conspecific with
M. dalgleishi
originally described from
G. spirurus
from a different location in
Costa
Rica
. Our specimen differ from the original description of
M. dalgleishi
by setal counts and dimensions, as follows [data from
Valim
et al.
(2011)
are in parentheses]:
