All three species of
Myocoris
Burmeister, 1835
are generally similar, have been considered as mimetic of ichneumonoids wasps (
Maldonado Capriles and Lozada 1992
;
Gil-Santana and Oliveira 2023
), and were described from
Rio de Janeiro
,
Brazil
(
Stål 1872
).
Haviland (1931)
recorded “
Xystonyttus nugax
(Burm.)
” [a wrong combination and authorship] from
Guyana
, stating that “these Ichneumonid-like
Harpactorinae
are difficult to determine”, leading to the uncertainty of the alleged occurrence of
M. nugax
in
Guyana
.
Fracker and Bruner (1924)
recorded this species from localities of the Amazonian region in
Brazil
(“Teffe”) and in
Peru
(“Iquitos”), without providing any details on the specimens upon which such records were based on. The male (
Fig. 14
) and female (
Figs. 15-16
) examined here showed to be very similar.
