In natural environments, adults have been caught using feces and rotten banana mixed with brown sugar as bait (Lopes 1973b), and larvae obtained from one female were reared on human feces, taking 4 days to reach the 3rd instar plus an additional 13 days to emerge as adults (Lopes 1975a). This species has also been collected above <i>E. burchellii</i> army ant raids on Barro Colorado Island (Dodge 1968). This species has been collected with Malaise and Shannon traps (Lopes & Tibana 1991), traps commonly used for collecting butterflies (Lopes 1975a), and with sweep nets in an area of the Brazilian Cerrado after attracting the flies with chicken viscera, ground beef and fish as baits (LIE). In Guajira, Colombia, this species was collected in a forest area using a Van Someren-Rydon trap baited with decomposing fish (Valverde-Castro <i>et al.</i> 2017). <i>Oxysarcodexia occulta</i> was collected in association with pig carcasses in a mesophytic semi-deciduous forest during the dry season (Paseto <i>et al.</i> 2019).</p> <p> <b>Type material examined.</b> Holotype ♂: [Brazil] Corcovado Castasina Cult: 81 6-33 / H.

It differs in the black ventral coloration (yellowish to reddish-brown in <i>M</i>. <i>ferrugineus</i>), elytral punctation with rows of punctures uniformly longitudinal and not confluent (in <i>M</i>. <i>ferrugineus</i> these punctures are more irregular and confluent at disc), the lack of a conspicuous angle at the outer side of protibiae (present in <i>M</i>. <i>ferrugineus</i>) and the occurrence in the southern portion of the Neotropics (while <i>M</i>. <i>ferrugineus</i> occurs in the northern portion).</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> TL = 4.27–6.12 mm (5.41± 0.59 mm, <i>n</i> = 9; length of the holotype = 5.65 mm).

Three labial palpomeres on each palp, palpomere III club-shaped (asymmetrical, Fig. 7, lp); mentum subpentagonal, with a rounded outline (Fig. 4, arrow and Fig. 8).</p> <p> <b>Thorax.</b> Pronotum subtrapezoidal, edges bordered, sides moderately arcuate, convergent anteriorly. PW/PL = 0.43–0.60 (0.51±0.05), widest medially in both sexes; shiny, punctation single, interspaces microreticulate; punc- tures separated by about 3 puncture-widths at disc, each puncture bearing one very short minute seta (barely visible even at magnification of 150×); anterior edge slightly convex at middle, anterior angles sharp; lateral edge with one glandular pore on anterior angle and one on posterior angle. Scutellar shield BW 0.39 mm (in holotype), subpentagonal, nearly rounded laterally, glabrous, bearing few punctures. Elytra with weak anterior marginal bead; EL/EW = 1.16–1.23 (1.19± 0.02), EL/PL = 2.32–3.22 (2.73±0.35); moderately convex, with eight longitudinal rows of punctures; punctures separated by about 4 puncture-widths; interspaces between rows with fine, sparse punctures, each puncture bearing one minute seta (barely visible at magnification of 150×); elytral punctation with rows of punctures uniformly longitudinal and not confluent. Metathoracic wings developed.

Tibiae short, conspicuously widened apically and lacking a conspicuous angle at the outer side of protibia (present in <i>M. ferrugineus</i>) (Fig. 3, arrow); apex with crown of wide flat setulae and two apical spurs. Tarsi densely pubescent.</p> <p> <b>Abdomen.</b> Slightly elongate; punctation coarse, shallow; interspaces microreticulate; vestiture of sparse, slen- der setae. Coxal lines conspicuous, not continuous around coxae (approximately 0.64× length of first abdominal ventrite). Length of ventrites 1 to 5 as follows (in mm, from base to apex of each ventrite at the longitudinal mid- line): 0.85, 0.52, 0.26, 0.28, 0.48. <b>Male terminalia</b> (Figs. 9–12): penis (Fig. 9, pen) elongate, slightly curved; basal portion with short sclerotized projection linked to the apophyses; internal sac with well-developed, elongate flagel- lum (Fig. 9, fla), 1.88× as long as penis, slightly sinuous, with membranous portion (Fig. 10, arrow) between virga and head of flagellum; head of flagellum (Fig. 10, head) horseshoe-shaped, inner contours widely separated, ante- rior borders laterally rounded, shallowly fused medially. Apophyses (Fig. 9, apo), approximately 1.7× longer than penis. Tegmen sclerotized (Fig. 11); parameres reduced, sclerotized, with densely pubescent outgrowths, slightly dilated. Tergite VIII sclerotized, with sparsely distributed bristles. Sternite VIII slightly sclerotized. Laterotergite IX sclerotized, pubescent, posteriorly elongate, slightly narrowed; outer contours angulate; anteroventral edge with paired, subparallel lateral struts, connected at their anterior tips by small, transverse, slightly sclerotized sclerite. Posterior edge of sternite IX sclerotized; outer contour rounded; weakly membranous anteriorly. Tergite X sclero- tized; posterior edge with sparsely distributed bristles. <b>Female terminalia:</b> genitalia (Figs. 13–14) with gonostyli and gonocoxites strongly sclerotized; vagina elongate at level of gonostyli (Fig. 14, arrows); baculi of paraprocts sclerotized, slightly arcuate; spermatheca oval, sclerotized; spemathecal duct sclerotized, slightly sinuous. Tergite VIII sclerotized, with sparsely distributed bristles. Sternite VIII with conspicuous median strut.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The exact location of “Cerro de Plumas”, the type locality of <i>M. ferrugineus</i> cited by Gorham (1888), is unknown. It may refer to “Cerro de Palmas” in Veracruz, introduced as a correction to “Cerro de Plumas” in a subsequent issue of Biologia Centrali-Americana (Selander & Vaurie 1962). The type locality is certainly in Mexico, which places it far from the species described herein. <i>Mycomystes nigriventris</i> fits well in the genus because it has conspicuously dilated tibiae, an oval body, and a subpentagonal mentum plate, with a rounded outline and very elongate maxillary palpomeres in relation to labial palpomeres. All of these features are uncommon in Neotropical Tritomini and, as discussed below, they may also be found in at least four species of <i>Mycotretus</i>. Based on the original description, <i>Mycotretus misellus</i> Lacordaire is similar to <i>M. nigriventris</i> in the black ventral coloration. The type of <i>M</i>. <i>misellus</i> has not been located by either Alvarenga (1994) or the senior author of the present work. However, we think <i>Mycotretus misellus</i> is not conspecific to <i>M. nigriventris</i> based on the examination of a specimen identified as <i>M. misellus</i> from the Reiche collection, housed in the University Museum of Zoology Cambridge (Camdridge, UK). This specimen fits Lacordaire’s description well in the slightly elongate body and the coarse elytral punctation (features not observed in <i>M. nigriventris</i>). Aside from that, Lacordaire (1842) did not mention dilated tibiae, a conspicuous feature of <i>M. nigriventris</i>.</p> <p> <b>Host fungi.</b> There is a record of four specimens collected in <i>Pleurotus</i> sp.
