242687884217FFE2F7D773DCFB92FCAA.taxon	discussion	Comments. The nymph of Miroculis (M.) eldorado, shares some similar characters with Miroculis (Atroari) amazonicus Savage & Peters and M. (Miroculis) fittkaui Savage & Peters, especially by having gills with grayish coloration and trachea unbranched, posterolateral lobes well-developed, and labrum with lateral margins angular (Fig. 4). However, M. (M.) eldorado can be differentiated from both by the posterolateral abdominal spines: on segments IV – IX in M. (M.) eldorado, II – IX in Miroculis (Atroari) amazonicus and M. (M.) fittkaui.	en	Boldrini, Rafael, Lima, Lucas Ramos Costa, Ottoni-Boldrini, Bianca Maira De Paiva (2018): Description of the nymph of Miroculis (Miroculis) eldorado Gama-Neto & Hamada, 2014 (Leptophlebiidae: Ephemeroptera) from Roraima, northern Brazil.
