Majority-rule consensus tree recovered through maximum parsimony analysis of the morphological characters listed in Table 2 showing the external similarities among the eight known Neotropical
Mycodrosophila
species.
This tree was rooted with the three Nearctic’s species (
M. claytonae
,
M. dimidiata
and
M. stalkeri
). The values above the nodes represent the percentage of maximum parsimonious trees recovering the clade, so that conflicting relationships are highlighted by intermediate support values (i.e. 50%).

Diagnosis: Main color dark brown. Thorax with dorsal region dark brown and pleura pale yellowish (
Fig. 4A and B
). Abdomen with dark brown bands covering tergites 2–5, tergite 2 with a pale central area backward projected centrally, tergite 5 with the dark band covering only the posterior margin, with a slight central and anterior projection, and tergite 6 with a central longitudinal stripe (
Fig. 5A
). Wing bearing two clouded bands extending dorso-ventrally below to each costal vein breaks (
Fig. 6A
), similar to
M. projectans
. Aedeagus projected anteriorly with apical region bifurcated and jagged (

Male description
Head (
Fig. 4C
): Frons dark brown. Frontal length =
0.24 mm
(
0.21–0.25 mm
); frontal index = 0.81 (0.86–0.91); frontal tapering ratio = 1.18 (1.13–1.22), length ratio of orbital setae: or2/or1 = 0.16, or2/or3 = 0.33, or1/or3 = 1.00; vertical setae broken; ocellar triangle yellowish about 32% (30–33%) of frontal length. Facial carina proeminent and nose like. Antennae brown, aristae with 4 dorsal and 1 ventral branches plus terminal fork, flagellomere I width to length ratio = 0.90 (0.87–0.93). Palpi dark brown. Red eyes without pile. Genae brown, vibrissal index = 0.60 (0.45–0.75); cheek index = 5.47 (4.43–7.00); eye index = 1.11 (1.07–1.15).
Thorax (
Fig. 4A–B
): Main color dark brown. Length:
0.67 mm
(
0.62–0.70 mm
), width:
0.54 mm
(
0.50–0.57 mm
). Eight irregular rows of acrostichals, anterior pair of dorsocentral setae absent, distance between posterior dorsocentral =
0.26 mm
(
0.22–0.30 mm
); no prescutellar setae. Scutellum dark brown. Basal scutellar setae convergent. Scut index = 0.54 (0.45–0.64); scut position index = 0.61 (0.50–0.70). Two prominent katepisternal setae. Sterno index = 0.54 (0.45–0.63). Pleurae brownish yellow. Halter dark brown. Legs yellowish.
Wing (
Fig. 6A
): Yellowish with dark yellow veins, bearing two clouded bands extending dorso-ventrally below each costal vein breaks. Length =
1.53 mm
(
1.50–1.57 mm
). Indices: wing index = 2.27 (2.17–2.33); C = 0.90 (0.88–0.92); ac = 5.95 (5.40–6.25); 4v = 2.04 (1.52–2.38); 5x = 1.85 (1.55–2.00); 4C = 1.79 (1.31–2.15); M = 0.51 (0.42–0.70); hb = 0.63 (0.60–0.66); prox. x = 0.56 (0.42–0.69).
Abdomen (
Fig.5A
): Tergites 2–5 with dark brown bands. Tergite 2 with the pale area occupying almost half of the anterior margin, with a backward central projection. Tergite 5 with the band covering only the posterior margin and containing a slight central projection. Tergite 6 bearing one central longitudinal strip.
Body length:
1.51 mm
(
1.50–1.55 mm
).
Terminalia (
Fig. 7
): Epandrium microtrichose with 5 upper bristles, ventral lobe not microtrichose with 7 large bristles. Cerci microtrichose bearing large bristles, not fused to epandrium. Decasternum as in
Fig. 7A
. Surstyli with 12–13 prensisetae, 2–3 inner and 3–4 outer setae. Hypandrium (
Fig.7B
) in an arc. Gonopods large, fused to hypandrium and containing short piles and one seta. Aedeagus (
Fig. 7C–E
) projected anteriorly, with the apical region bifurcated and jagged, internal margin of the aedeagus with rows of tiny setae. Aedeagal apodeme flattened laterally and shorter than aedeagus. Ventral rod projected anteriorly and fused with the posteromedian margin of the hypandrium. Paraphyses microtrichose, fused to the gonopods and containing three inner setulae.

Etymology: The epithet is a genitive patronym to honor the Brazilian Drosophilist Paulo Roberto Petersen Hofmann, from Universidade Federal de
Santa Catarina
.
Geographic distribution:
M. hofmanni
sp. nov.
was sampled in two fragmented areas from Brazilian Amazon Forest in Colorado do Oeste city,
Rondônia

Ecological notes: The records are restricted to the
type
locality, and the
type
series specimens were collected flying over mushrooms of
Mycena
sp.
(
Agaricales
,
Mycenaceae
) (
