Male holoptic, eyes pubescent; female dichoptic. Fronto-orbital plate slender in both sexes; female with proclinate orbital seta. Gena narrow, at most 1/10 of head height, and with strongly inclined genal seta. Arista pubescent, setae shorter at base. Dorsocentral setae 2+3, pre-sutural acrostichal setae in 3 series; pre-alar seta 1. Notopleuron bare. Anepimeron bare. Posterior spiracle small in both sexes, smaller than base of halter, margin bare. Veins bare, except costa. Subcostal gently curved on apical portion. Mid femur on ventral surface with 1 preapical seta. Hind tibia on posterior portion with 2 preapical setae; posterodorsal seta well developed on apical third (calcar). Hind coxa bare on apical posterior margin. Pulvilli yellow and claws black. Abdomen with translucent yellow tergites 1+2 and 3. First abdominal sternite bare. Male terminalia: distiphallus with small denticles. Female terminalia: sternite 8 developed; cerci longer than the hypoproct; spermathecae 3.</p><p>Distribution. Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico.</p><p>Considerations.

Katepisternal setae 1+2, with setulose area.</p><p>Legs. Mid femur on AD surface with series of strong setae reaching limit of apical third and 1 strong preapical seta, V surface with series of long and spaced setae, PD surface with 2 preapical setae, PV surface with series of long setae on femur, reduced at base and apex. Tibia on A and PV surfaces without strong setae, PD surface with 1 apical seta. Hind femur swollen, D surface with 1 preapical seta, A surface without strong setae, P surface without strong setae, PD surface with 1 preapical seta; tibia on AD surface with 1 median seta and 1 preapical seta, V and PV surfaces without strong setae.</p><p>Abdomen. Fifth sternite rectangular on anterior margin, concave on posterior margin with extensions forming acute angle, shallow medially (Fig. 24). Terminalia. Cercal plate rounded externally on posterior margin (Fig. 32). Surstyli with a notch, curved towards center of cercal plate (Fig. 32). Phallus straight and long, tapered near apex, pregonite triangular with 1 seta, distiphallus bifurcated with denticles on membrane (Fig. 40).</p><p>Female. Differs from male in the following: mid femur on V and PD surfaces without strong setae; mid tibia on A and PV surfaces with 1 apical seta, PD surface without strong setae. Hind femur not swollen, AV surface with 3 setae on apical half, V surface without strong setae, PV and P surfaces with 1 preapical seta, PD surface without strong setae. Terminalia. Seventh sternite trapezoidal, 8th sternite long (Fig. 44b). Hypoproct rounded at apex (Fig. 44b). Cerci digitiform (Fig. 44).</p><p>Considerations. Holotype with thorax pierced by the pin, which made it impossible to visualize the post-sutural acrostichal setae. Terminalia dissected and placed in a micro tube with glycerin, pinned together with the specimen.</p><p><a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-44.97&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=22.5325" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -44.97/lat 22.5325)">Material</a> examined.

The specific epithet, fortuna, refers to the second name of the country of origin of the holotype (from Latin: fortuna = fortunate, rich), Costa Rica. Agrees in gender with the feminine Micropotamia .</p><p>Distribution</p><p>The Micropotamia species are widely distributed; however, there are extensive geographical areas with little or no collection records. Previously, Micropotamia species were distributed in the following regions in Brazil ( M. amazonica: Amazonas and Roraima; M. cilitibia: Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, and Rio Grande do Sul; M. minuscula: Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo) and Mexico ( M. fuscisquama: Guerrero) (Fig. 45A) (Löwenberg-Neto &amp; de Carvalho 2013). This contribution has broadened the known distribution of species in Brazil and Costa Rica, as follows: Brazil: Acre, Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo; Costa Rica: Puntarenas Province (Fig. 45B).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039C87AD1903FFB4FF3FF892FAEAE8E0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
