(Figs 5.4, 12.2, 18.2, 23.10) Diagnosis. Female. Myriophora longisetarum is similar to M. kungae , but has a more acutely downturned oviscape apex and distinctly longer setae on the sternite (Figs 18.2, 23.10). Description. Female (Fig. 5.4). Body length 1.33–2.10 mm . Head : Frons dusky yellow, with 2 pairs of supraantennal setae; length of lower supra-antennal setae less than 1/2 the length of upper pair; upper supra-antennals originate even with lower interfrontal setae. First flagellomere yellow-brown, rounded under arista. Palpus yellow, slightly inflated. Labrum normal sized. Labellum normal sized. Thorax : Scutum dusky yellow. Scutellum dusky yellow. Anterior scutellar setae about 3/4 the length of posterior pair. Pleuron yellow; anepisternum with setulae and one large seta. Forefemur yellow. Midfemur yellow. Hind femur yellow with brown patch distally on anterior surface. Wing length 1.23–2.31 mm (Fig. 12.2); costal vein normal; costal length 0.70–1.23 mm ; mean costal ratio 0.55. Knob of halter light brown. Abdomen : Tergites 1 and 2 brown; tergite 2 with strong, distinct setae on lateral margin. Tergite 5 brown; posterior setae on tergite 5 short. Tergite 6 rectangular to slightly narrowing posteriorly; posterodorsal setae on segment 6 shorter than posteroventral setae. Venter of abdomen with dense, long setae. Oviscape (Figs 18.2, 23.10) sclerites dark brown; tergite strongly downturned at apex; sternite about 1/5 of the length of tergite and with long setae on lateral margins. Distribution. Mexico to Colombia . Host. Unknown. Etymology. A noun from Latin for "long setae" referring to the long setulae on the ventrolateral side of the oviscape that differentiates this species from the closely related M. kungae .
