Comments.
This species was collected at level 5 (river 2, 1,776 m) on substrates of macrophytes and leaf packs, and was present throughout sampling months (February 2018 through February 2019, dry and rainy season). Specimens, including males, did not match known described species of the genus, although they are similar to
M.
Macrelmis leonilae
. Male parameres of the specimens, in dorsal view, are slightly wider from the base to the apical portion, while in
M.
Macrelmis leonilae
they are wider through the basal half.
