Diagnosis. Species very similar to M. diaphoros and M. panamae , from which it can be separated by its smaller size, and male and female genitalia.

Description. In addition to the characters of the genus.

TIII inner serrulation: no spine before spur 1, no spine between spurs 1 and 2, 0–1 spine in males (mean 0.2) and no spine in females between spurs 2 and 3, 0–1 spine in males (mean 0.8) and females (mean 0.8) between spurs 3 and 4, 2–5 spines in males (mean 3.6), 3–4 spines in females (mean 3.5) above spur 4; outer serrulation: no spine before spur 1, and between spurs 1 and 2, 0–1 spines in males (mean 0.8) and 1 spine in females between spurs 2 and 3, 1 spine in males and 1–2 spines in females (mean 1.5) between spurs 3 and 4, 5–7 spines in males (mean 6) and 6–7 spines in females (mean 6.3) above spur 4. Basitarsomeres III with 1 in males and 1–2 in females (mean 1.3) inner dorsal spine, and 4–5 in males (mean 4.2) and in females (mean 4.3) outer dorsal spines, in addition to apical spines.

Male genitalia. Very small. Ectophallic fold not raised between pseudepiphallic arms as in M. diaphoros ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 L); ectophallic apodemes also thinner and shorter, and almost parallel ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 K); transverse sclerotization between ectophallic fold and endophallic sclerite more narrow ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 K); endophallic apodeme larger.

Female. Subgenital plate as on Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 M.

Female genitalia. Copulatory papilla smaller and more cylindrical than that of M. diaphoros ; almost straight apically ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 N, O).
