Diagnosis.
This species is characterized by male and female with four pairs of dorsocentral setae; wing with brown to black infuscation at level of crossveins r-m and dm-m (
Fig. 5A
).
Male.
Tergite 8 (
Fig. 5C
) elongated with distal protuberances; epandrium (
Fig. 5C
) slightly swollen with strong posterodorsal lobe longer than anterodorsal lobe; hypandrium (
Fig. 5D
) with slender posterior setae; ejaculatory apodeme trilamellar, dorsal lamella absent; phallus same length as hypandrium.
Female.
Pinnate setae dorsally and ventrally on mid femur and a few short pinnate setae on basal fourth of mid tibia ventrally (
Fig. 5E
); hind femur and tibia with pinnate setae dorsally and ventrally (
Fig. 5F
).

Remarks.
This species was originally described on the basis of a single female specimen from
La Paz
,
Bolivia
and presently it is in poor condition. It was associated with specimens from Quincemil,
Cuzco
,
Peru
by
Rafael & Cumming (2010)
. No male from the type-locality was studied and this is essential to be secure that the Peruvian specimens are conspecific with Bolivian specimens of
M. pictipennis
.
