remarks:
The holotype of Milichiella argenteocincta is male and not female as stated in the original description. Specimens from Peru differ in the lighter legs, dark palpi, the shape of sternites (Pl. 15F) and a silvery microtomentose anterior margin of T3+4 in most specimens. Milichiella argenteocincta has been collected at light, in Malaise traps, on shells, on Murraya exotica Millsp. (Rutaceae) leaves, in dirt near Atta cephalotes nests, and from excrement in a toucan's nest. M. flavipalpis was synonymized with M. argenteocincta by Brake (2009) based on the original descriptions and the range of specimens studied.
