Diagnostic features
Primary appendage simple or once branched above the basal cell. Cell III barrel-shaped, longer than broad, with a darkened outer margin. Two to four secondary appendages for each antheridium. Fourth tier of antheridium consisting of two prominent cells. Each antheridium including four phialides. Perithecial stalk cell narrower and darkened in its lower half.
Distribution and hosts
Recently described on

Remarks
First record from
Denmark
. As mentioned in the protologue, this species should be carefully compared with
M. homalotae
from which it may be distinguished by the constricted and darkened cell VI, the four phialides in the antheridium, and by the secondary receptacles showing constrictions at the septa separating the antheridial tiers. Also, its special ecology supports the distinctiveness of this species from others occurring on
Aleocharinae
rove beetles, such as
M. britannicus
and
M. homalotae
.
Drusilla canaliculata
is a rove beetle that catches ants (myrmecophagous).
