Adults and nymphs were collected in stream segments with altitude ranging from 160 to 500 m a.s.l. and with weak current, associated with substrate with leaves deposited on the bottom, in patches of dense and humid forest. The emergence of some adults was observed at 15:00. With this study, M. fittkaui is reported for the first time from Piauí State.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0755E8000B4EFFAFFF53EEF6FE39FC6D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
