Description
Genus Myrsidea Waterston
Myrsidea Waterston 1915: 12. Type species: Myrsidea victrix Waterston by original designation.
A thorough characterization of this genus may be found in Clay (1966) and in the papers referred to by Price and Dalgleish (2006). In order to avoid needless repetition, we will make generous reference to the descriptions, illustrations, and keys in the earlier work in which Price and Dalgleish (2006) discussed all 22 of the then known species of Myrsidea from hosts in the Thraupidae.
The first new species described below belongs to the bonariensis species group as discussed in Price and Dalgleish (2006), with both sexes having the majority to all of the abdominal segments with a continuous row of tergal setae across each segment, without a well-defined median gap in these rows.
