Viette, Muséum Paris (MNHN)  .</p><p>COMPARATIVE NOTES</p><p>At first glance the species is similar to  M. mayottensis . Nevertheles, it can easily be separated from the latter by its puncturation of abdominal sterna (punctures present in lateral third in  M. myottensis, in lateral two thirds in  M. comorensis), and puncturation of gular plate (almost impunctate, punctures present only in its posterior third in  M. myottensis, punctures in the posterior half in  M. comorensis). Moreover, both species differ also in their male genitalia and edentation of male hind femora.</p><p>DISTRIBUTION</p><p>Comoros.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E487C87B2C4510FE2444A4BA15FE29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
