This spider is known only from Tims Thicket, south of Perth near the coast. Like M. boranup , M. flavus males rely greatly on semaphore signaling with legs III when they display to females, but unlike that species they also display their distinctive, mustard yellow opisthosoma. Legs III of the male are highly ornamented, with tufts of long black setae surrounding each metatarsus, and a thin red-brown line set off by a fringe of white setae on the front of each patella and tibia.
