Diagnosis. Wingspan 43–48 mm. The species is close to M. bathensis but differs clearly in its larger size and brownish grey colouration with a well-defined pattern. The male genitalia (Figs 77, 78, 93) differ in the larger subapical dorsal lobe of costa, somewhat shorter, but broader cucullus, narrower and less curved digitus, longer ampulla, shorter carina with longer and stronger sclerotised eversible dorso-lateral bar, shorter band of spinules on terminal diverticulum. The female genitalia (Fig. 114) differ in the much broader ostium bursae and ductus bursae, narrower corpus bursae and larger signum.

Distribution. Endemic of Taiwan.
