Pilosity and Sculpturing. Body opaque, with reticulate-punctate sculpture. Pilosity appressed. Head (Figure 1.A). Mandible with oblique striations on the dorsal surface; masticatory margin with four to five teeth. Anterior margin of the clypeus convex, without an anteromedial notch; clypeus surface slightly elevated, with a pair of tiny median tubercles. Frontal lobes subquadrate. Frontal carina short, laterally directed. Eyes occupying at least half of the head in profile view; strongly bulging. Ocelli protruded from short projections. Scape extends beyond the vertexal margin by approximately ¼ of its length; flagellomere I (antennomere 3) 2.5x as long as pedicel. Occipital corners toothed. Mesosoma (Figure 1.B–C). Pronotum with two pairs of small spines. Notauli shallow, medially united, fainting posteromedially. Scutoscutellar sulcus deep. Mesoscutelum posterior margin with a pair of thick projections. Propodeum with a pair of projections, with upper projection triangular, low, lamellate. Metasoma. Petiole with developed peduncle; rounded petiolar node without projections, with only some rugose on its surface. Postpetiole subtrapezoidal in dorsal view, slightly wider posteriorly, with some rugose on its surface. First tergum of gaster as long as wide. Wings (Figure 2.A). Infuscated wings covered with microtrichia. Forewings with four closed cells (basal, costal, submarginal, and marginal 1+2). Semi-complete cubitus+anal vein, almost forming a subbasal cell. Pterostigma strongly pigmented. Hindwings without closed cells, with 1 single complete vein (subcostal), and 2 incomplete visible veins (anal and media+cubitus); eight hamuli. Genitalia. Parameres basally wide, internal face slightly concave, apex subquadrate and spatulate (Figure 2.C–D). Digitus of volsella elongate, L–shaped, inner margin strongly curved; cuspis not evident (Figure 2.J). Penisvalve with a serrated ventral margin that has four to five denticles (Figure 2.G, black triangle), apex with a broad, round lobe (Figure 2.G, red triangle), separated from the serrated margin by a deep notch; fin–like dorsomedial extension of the valviceps (Figure 2.G, gray triangle).</p><p>Comments. In the review of the genus, the male of M. goeldii is only briefly described, with an illustration of the penisvalve and few data about the external morphology (Kempf, 1963). The parameres, volsella, and penisvalve showed standard features of Mycocepurus species, such as the apex of the valviceps separated from the ventral margin by a deep notch and the presence of a dorsomedial extension. The male of Mycocepurus castrator Rabeling &amp; Bacci, 2010, a social parasite of M. goeldii, also has the apex of the valviceps lobed. One male of M. goeldii (ANTWEB1047383) presented a slight variation in the morphology of the penisvalve with five denticles on the ventral margin instead of four, it was in accordance with other M. goeldii males in other respects of the external morphology.</p><p>Material examined.

Pilosity and Sculpturing. Body opaque, with reticulate-punctate sculpture. Pilosity appressed. Head (Figure 1.D). Mandible with oblique striations on dorsal surface; masticatory margin with three teeth. Anterior margin of clypeus straight, without anteromedial notch; clypeus surface without evident median tubercles. Frontal lobes subquadrate. Frontal carina short, laterally directed. Eyes occupying at least half of the head in profile view; strongly bulging. Ocelli inserted into short, poorly developed projections. Scape reaching and exceeding the vertexal margin of the head by approximately ¼ of its length; flagellomere I 4x as long as pedicel. Occipital corners angled, forming inconspicuous teeth. Mesosoma (Figure 1.E–F). Pronotum with a pair of small tubercles. Notauli deep, sometimes poorly imprinted posteriorly. Scutoscutellar sulcus deep. Mesoscutelum posterior margin with a pair of two very short, blunt tubercles. Propodeum with a pair of blunt to sharp spines. Metasoma. Petiole with developed peduncle; petiolar node with the anterior portion rounded, and the posterior more straight, without projections. Postpetiole trapezoidal, wider posteriorly, in dorsal view. First tergum of gaster longer than wide. Wings (Figure 2.B). Heavily infuscated, covered with microtrichia. Forewing with four closed cells (basal, costal, submarginal, and marginal 1+2); semi-complete cubitus+anal vein, almost forming the subbasal cell; pterostigma inconspicuous. Hindwing without closed cell, with one single complete vein (subcostal) and two incomplete visible veins (anal and media+cubitus); 7 hamuli. Genitalia. Parameres tapering towards the apex, with blunt tips, and strongly curved internally (Figure 2.E–F). Digitus of volsella short, hook-shaped, internally slightly curved; cuspis not evident (Figure 2.K). Penisvalve with a serrated ventral margin that has nine denticles (Figure 2.H, black triangle), its apex with a acute lobe (Figure 2.H, red triangle), separated from the serrated margin by a deep notch; dorsomedial extension of the valviceps with a slightly conical tip (Figure 2.H, gray triangle).</p><p>Comments. Mycocepurus smithii is easily separated from M. goeldii by different states of the following characters: body size, number of projections on the pronotum, impression of the notauli, projections of the posterior margin of the mesoscutelum, infuscation of the wings, pterostigma pigmentation, shape of the parameres, shape of the volsella digitus, number of denticles on the ventral margin of the penisvalva, and shape of the apex of the valviceps after the notch. Mycocepurus smithii, also presented variation in the number of denticles on the ventral margin of the penisvalve: although nine denticles are more commonly found, seven denticles were found in one specimen (ANTWEB1047342). The male described by Kempf (1963) as M. smithii and that was later considered as M. obsoletus (Rabeling et al. 2009), lacks a well-defined lobe in the apex of the valviceps (Figure 2.I). Furthermore, the male M. obsoletus has five denticles on the ventral margin of the penisvalve. Noteworthy that although the presence of denticles in the penisvalve seems to be common in the genus, in the parasitic species M. castrator they are absent (Rabeling &amp; Bacci, 2010).</p><p>Material examined.
