( MACN ); 12 ɗ, 1 Ψ Santa Clara del Mar, Mar Chiquita, XI.2007 Mulieri leg. ( ANLIS ). Remarks : Good illustrations of male and female terminalia were provided by Blanchard (1939) and Lopes (1982). Biology : Originally, the specimens of the type series of M. muehni were obtained from Oiketicus kirbyi (Guilding) ( Lepidoptera , Psychidae ) ( Blanchard 1939 ). Additional material was obtained from Alabama argillacea (Hübner) ( Lepidoptera , Noctuidae ) ( Blanchard & De Santis 1975 ). Nevertheless, the species was later considered as non-specific saprophagous ( Oliva 1997 ). In Buenos Aires, M. muehni exhibited higher abundance during the winter, and was captured both with rotten cow liver and dog faeces ( Mulieri et al. 2008 ).
