Diagnosis: Males: This species shares the prosomal postocular hump and transverse groove between the hump and ocular region with M. dismodicoides , M. lineata , M. lucida , M. sexoculata , M. sexoculorum (Tanasevitch, 1998) comb. nov. and M. tholusa , but can be distinguished by the position of the PME at the lateral side of the groove (PME above the groove in M. dismodicoides , M. lineata , M. sexoculorum and M. tholusa ; PME inside the pre-PME groove in M. lucida , M. sexoculata and M. sexoculorum ). Description: Male ( holotype , SMF 33832): Total length: 1.98. Prosoma: 0.91 long, 0.70 wide, transverse groove between PME, hump posteriorly ( Fig. 38I ). Eyes: AME- AME: 0.03, AME width: 0.04, AME-ALE: 0.04, ALE width: 0.07, ALE-PLE: 0, PLE width: 0.08, PLE-PME: 0.02, PME width: 0.06, PME-PME: 0.18. Clypeus: not hirsute. Sternum: 0.49 long, 0.52 wide. Chelicerae: mastidia absent; stridulatory striae rows widely and evenly spaced ( Fig. 39I ). Legs: Tm I: 0.85. Pedipalp: patella prolateral proximal vertical macrosetae absent; tibia with one prolateral, two retrolateral trichobothria; TPS scaly, distal-retrolaterally pointed; TPA median-sized; TRA apically oriented; PC mediansized, base not visible from dorsal view, distal setae close to distal clasp, distal clasp without striae, clasp directed apically ( Fig. 51A ); T without papillae; PT apical part with small papillae; TS short, without papillae ( Fig. 51B ); MSA present; DSA tip round; EM flat, anterior margin without papillae, approximately equals ARP in length; ARP pointed; LER without striae, extended dorsal to E; VRP absent; TP tip narrow; E retrolaterally spiral, anterior margin at base smoothly curved ( Fig. 51E, F ). Opisthosoma: dorsal pattern see Fig. 40I ; PMS with mAP, two AC; PLS with triad, 3+ AC ( Fig. 51G, H ).
