Diagnosis and remarks. There is wing polymorphism in both sexes of M. gorodkovi from macropterous ( Fig. 6 ) to micropterous. The main epiproct sclerites are almost equal in width in dorsal view, but slightly wider medially ( Figs. 4–5 , 14 ). This species was previously reported from Russia, Wrangell, Chukotka Peninsula, south of the Magadan region, Koryak Highlands, Paramushiro, and Primorye.
