Biology : Attracted to light. Host unknown. Comments : This species has no epomia and a dark orange metasoma, similar to C. angelicae n. sp. , C. terezae sp. nov. and C. lucianae sp. nov. However, it differs from these species because C. mucioi sp. nov. shows the metasomal tergite II with a distinct black stripe on its posterior part (vs second tergite of metasoma usually dark brown or black, black stripe if present, not distinct), medium size (vs small size). Etymology : This species is named in honor of Mucio Alvaro Doria first author’s grandfather.
