Remark.
Hacker
et al
(2012)
illustrated a drawing of the male genitalia of
M. lucia
copied from the original description. Thanks to the fact that both sexes of the species were collected in the
Maputo
Special Reserve, photos of male and female genitalia of
M. lucia
are published here for the first time. New country record for
Mozambique
