Venter (Fig. 3). All ventral setae serrated and completely striated. Longitudinal striae between pt setae, transverse striae between pt, mt�� and mt��. Lyrifissures ih located posteroventrally. Measurements of setae: pt 9 (8���15); mt�� 10 (9���15) and; mt�� 10 (8���13). Four pairs of aggenital setae (ag1, ag2, ag3 and ag4) and one pair of pseudanal setae (ps2). Setal lengths: ag1 7 (5���8); ag2 8 (6���12); ag3 5 (5���8); ag4 9 (8���12); g1 4 (3���6); g2 4 (3���7); g3 4 (3���5); g4 3 (1���6); g5 4 (2���6); g6 4 (1���5) and; ps2 12 (8���15) (Fig. 4A).

Type material. Female holotype, eight female paratypes, as follows: Holotype, six paratypes, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from nests of T. fiebrigi, September 21, 2018, T. Da-Costa. Two paratype females, Bom Princ��pio, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from nest of M. quadrifasciata, October 10, 2018, T. Da-Costa. Female holotype and a female paratype deposited at the Departamento de Entomologia e Acarologia, Escola Superior de Agricultura ��� Luiz de Queiroz ���, Universidade de S��o Paulo (ESALQ / USP), Piracicaba, state of S��o Paulo, Brazil. Two paratypes were deposited at the Museu de Ci��ncias e Tecnologia, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Other paratypes were deposited at the Museu de Ci��ncias Naturais (ZAUMCN), Universidade do Vale do Taquari���Univates, Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Male. not found. Etymology. The name meliponarum derives from the name of the stingless bee tribe Meliponini. Remarks. This new species resembles L. obnoxia (Kuznetzov & Zapletina, in Livshitz et al. 1972), which has short dorsal setae, no empodial hooks and Tydeus striations. Nevertheless, it differs as its dorsal setae are serrated instead of lanceolate, its trichobothria (bo) are serrated instead of smooth and setae d are bifurcated. This new species is also similar to L. oregonensis (Baker, 1970) as its dorsal setae are serrated and it has Tydeus striations. Nonetheless, it differs because its dorsal setae are short (f1 and f2 do not reach the bases of h1 and h2, respectively) instead of long (f1 and f2 reach the bases of h1 and h2, respectively). In addition, its leg setae are serrated (except tc ���, tc ��� and ft ��� on leg I) instead of smooth, its empodium has claws instead of without claws, it has transverse striae between the ventral setae mt�� and mt�� instead of in a V-pattern, and solenidion ��I is distinctly less than �� the width of tarsus I instead of being longer than �� the width of tarsus I.
