Discussion
Bartalucci (2005)[2] published the first record of Myzinella from Madagascar, although the genus is known from mainland Africa, India and Iran. A second, new species, Myzinellaminima, was present in the materials examined for this review from the California Academy of Sciences Madagascar project and is described below.
The most distinctive features of male Myzinella are the abruptly up curved uncus, short, nodose metasomal tergum I, metasomal terga III–VII with an abruptly elevated transverse ridge or flange separating the smooth anterior surface that slides beneath the preceding tergum from the tergal disk and the subapical metasomal sternum is broadly truncate apically.
Hosts:
unknown for the genus.
