The population of extremely long-period Mira variables in the Milky Way remains poorly characterized. Their rarity and heavy circumstellar obscuration have precluded systematic studies in optical surveys, yet they are expected to trace the most massive stars evolving through the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB). We present IRTF/SpeX spectroscopy of the longest-period ($P\gtrsim1000$ d) Galactic Mira variables identified with the Palomar Gattini-IR survey.
