Comments. M. desmiae is very similar to M. mariamartachavarriae sp. nov. but can be recognized by its larger ocelli.
Examined Material. 2 females DHJPAR0029326, DHJPAR0029324; 1 male DHJPAR0029325.
Biology. M. desmiae is a solitary parasitoid that attacks Spilomelinae (Lepidoptera, Crambidae). Previously this species was recorded in ACG as a parasitoid of Desmia tages (Zitani et al. 1998), and also in Ecuador parasitizing an unidentified caterpillar, belonging to the superfamily Pyraloidea (Aguirre & Shaw 2014). Here M. desmiae was found to parasitize Desmia octomaculalis Amsel, 1956, Desmia ploralisDHJ02, Desmia ploralisDHJ03, Desmia ploralisDHJ09, Desmia Solis 19 and Trichaea pilicornis Herrich-Schäffer, 1866.
