( Fig. 12 ) Description . Large species. Male. Head. Antenna with fourth flagellomere 1.9 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing 3 curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a parasegment apically. Thorax. Anterior basalare and laterotergite each bare. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose. Wing. Length 1.7–2.2 mm . Membrane with a few setae along posterior margin. Sc bare. Junction of CuA2 into CuA1 incomplete or complete. Terminalia ( Fig. 12 ). Sternite 9 almost completely merged with gonocoxites, with only small portions of posterior margin recognisable; margin situated beyond mid length of gonocoxites. Ventro­lateral edges of gonocoxites lobe­like and with some 5 stronger setae; interiorly with 1 curved seta on a separate rim. Disto­lateral lobes of gonocoxites large; with large, straight setae pointing posteriorly and smaller, curly setae pointing inwards. Gonocoxites in position I with 1 medium­sized, blunt megaseta; in position II with 3 short, strong, stiff setae on lobe; in position III with 2 flat megasetae, one megaseta simple and pointed, the other two­branched with one branch broadly rounded and the other branch whip­like; in position IV with 1 pointed megaseta directed inwards. Gonostyli small, slender, bilobed; ventral lobe each with 1 large and 1 smaller setae apically, dorsal lobe with 2+1 setae with one apical seta strongly re­curved. Parastylar lobes large, very weak in some specimens, but seemingly sclerotised in others. Tegmen long and narrow, almost evenly tapering to tip. Hypoproct broad apically; with long setae laterally. Diagnostic characters . Among the species with both anterior basalare and laterotergites bare, it has the terminalia characterised by the combination of very small, slender gonostyli; gonocoxites in position IV with one large, pointed megaseta pointing strictly inwards (see also next species, M. eximia ); and sternite 9 almost indistinguishable from the gonocoxites.
