Male unknown
Awesome, this is another species known only from the female!

Myrmosula parvula is the only species in this genus known from both sexes.

Marius Wasbauer cleaned me out of most of my specimens back in the 80's. So I assume they're at the California Dept. of Food & Agriculture collection. This was one of those species where there was a standing order to get more! I only have the one pair left. I'm sure Dr. Don Burdick (my collecting buddy) also got them at Ash Mtn, so there should be specimens at the CSU,Fresno collection too.
