Abstract

A second species of the rare myrmecophilous genus Myrmicophila Yin and Li, Myrmicophila motuoensis Yin, new species, is described and figured based on material collected in Xizang, southwestern China. The new species can be separated from Myrmicophila tangliangi Yin and Li from Yunnan by the different shapes of male sexual modifications on the antennae and metafemora, and of the aedeagus.
