Shares with M. iangauldi the pale yellowish stigma contrasting with mainly dark brown veins of middle third of forewing and the robust first tergite (approx. 2.3 × longer than its apical width). Differs because of the slightly wider vein 1Cua of forewing, which is approx. as long as vein cu-a (slightly narrower and ca. 1.2 × in M. iangauldi ), basal half of vein C+SC+R of forewing dark brown (yellow in M. iangauldi ) and head pale yellow (pale brown in M. iangauldi ).
