            <p> Comments. The nymph of  Miroculis (M.) eldorado , shares some similar characters with  Miroculis (Atroari) amazonicus Savage &amp; Peters and  M. (Miroculis) fittkaui Savage &amp; 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 . </p>
