NOTES. This taxon has been described as a subspecies of
M. pulvera
(Walker,
1948) (Pashtshenko, 1998). However, a comparison of former with
M. pulvera
(
Table 1
) showed the presence of a number of differences between them in the ratio of the siphunculi to the body (0.10–0.11 vs. 0.13–0.17) and the cauda (0.7–0.8
compared to 0.80–0.95), the ultimate rostral segment and the second segment of the hind tarsus (1.0–1.1 and 0.85–0.95), the processus terminalis to the base of the 6th
antennal segment (2.5–2.9 against 3.0–3.5). I supposed that based on the above differences
M. khinganica
deserves the species status.
