Remarks. The male of M. kathleenae is distinguished from all other males by the shape and very wide size of the genital sac sclerite ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 8 – 15. 8 ). The wide anus and relatively long inner seta on tergite VII enable female separation. This species is the only known Myrsidea on P. cafer .
Etymology. This species is named for Kathleen A. Hartman, Minneapolis, Minnesota, the elder daughter of the junior author.
