Diagnosis.
The species is characterized by its ovate gonostylus with a slightly curved apical tooth arising from a well-developed lobe, two to three flagellate setae on the ventral mesial margin of gonostylus; hypopygium with a small conical setose intercoxal lobe; tegmen apically truncate, parameral apodeme continuously sclerotized forming a central strip on dorsal side.
Description (male).
Head dark brown; palps, antenna, thorax, abdomen and hypopygium brown; legs yellowish-brown; wings fumose.

Wings
(

1.63– 2.03 mm
, width/length: 0.47–0.49. c/w: 0.71–0.72. R1/R: 0.62–0.70. M, CuA, stM and r-m nonsetose.
Legs
(
Fig. 13
E). Foretibia with bordered posteroventral patch of modified setae. Length of spur/width of foretibia 1.03–1.11. Length of femur/length of metatarsus: foreleg 1.23–1.29. Length of metatarsus/length of tibia: foreleg 0.58–0.59, hind leg 0.48. Length of hind tibia/length of thorax 1.18–1.44. Claws toothed.
Hypopygium
(
Figs 13
A, B). The gonocoxite as long as the gonostylus. The gonostylus ovate, with densely setose on the apicoventral part, with a slightly curved apical tooth arising from a well-developed lobe, two to three flagellate setae on the ventral mesial margin of gonostylus present. Hypopygium with a small conical setose intercoxal lobe. Apex of Tegmen truncate, parameral apodeme continuously sclerotized forming a central strip on dorsal side. Aedeagus relatively short. Sternite 10 with 1 seta on each half.

Remarks.
This species is close to
M. megalocornuta
(
Mohrig & Menzel, 1992
)
in sharing a well-developed dorsal lobe on an ovate gonostylus, and apically truncate tegmen with parameral apodeme continuously sclerotized forming a central strip on dorsal side. The new species differs in having a dorsal lobe arising from the subapical part, while it is arising from the apex in
M. megalocronuta
.
Etymology.
This species is named after its apically truncate tegmen, from the Latin adjective
truncatulus
, meaning truncate.
