Introduction

This species is not to be confused with the Cuban species Microtritia glabrata Stary, 1993, whose name is a senior homonym of Microtritia glabrata Niedbała, 1993. Subias (2004) proposed Microtritia neonominata as a replacement for Microtritia glabrata Stary, 1993, but this is an unnecessary replacement name, since Microtritia glabrata Stary, 1993 is the senior homonym.
