Diagnosis. Female. Myriophora opilionidis is most similar to M. sinesplendida in the overall structure of the oviscape, but the sclerites in M. opilionidis are more sclerotized and shiny, and the anterior scutellar setae are longer in M. opilionidis (over half the length of the posterior pair) than in M. sinesplendida .
Distribution. Argentina and Brazil.
Host. Unknown but some specimens were observed running on the ground near a harvestman Opiliones laniatores (see Borgmeier 1931).
Material examined. Brazil: Nova Teutônia, 1♀, Fritz Plaumann, (Det. Borgmeier) ( USNM).
