Remarks. Bravo (2005) provided a differential diagnosis for M. ( M.) barrettoi and M. ( M.) pilosella based on the drawings of male terminalia of Müller (1895). We include here, complete illustrations of the male and female head ( Figs. 24–25 View FIGURE 24–28 ), an illustration of the wing, showing the connection between vein R 5 and M 1 ( Fig. 26 View FIGURE 24–28 ) and a detailed illustration of female hypogynium, showing the internal lateral bristles ( Figs. 27–28 View FIGURE 24–28 ). The connection of veins R 5 and M 1 is found in both males and females, but this can vary from a well delimited to a faint connection.
