Biology: Attracted to light. Host unknown.

Comments: This species has no epomia and a dark orange metasoma, similar to C. angelicae n. sp., C. terezae sp. nov. and C. lucianae sp. nov. However, it differs from these species because C. mucioi sp. nov. shows the metasomal tergite II with a distinct black stripe on its posterior part (vs second tergite of metasoma usually dark brown or black, black stripe if present, not distinct), medium size (vs small size).

Etymology: This species is named in honor of Mucio Alvaro Doria first author’s grandfather.
