First description of male.
The species
M. marmorata
is distinctly differentiated from other species in the species group “a” by comparatively few file teeth and comparatively large tooth density (see measurements in Tables 5–6). The calling song consists of continuous syllable-groups. Each syllable-group, with a regular period and duration (67.5ms), consists of 5 syllables with gradually decreasing amplitude (

s–t). The species is recorded to be distributed in South
China
(only including
Yunnan
).
