Diagnosis
. The species differs externally from its closely related Pacific Asian congeners,
M. placida
(Butler, 1878)
and
M. bani
(Sugi, 1977)
by the much stronger dark patch around reniform stigma; the orbicular stigma is also better visible due to its paler filling. The male genitalia are illustrated in the gen. fig. 12 and in the original description; they differ from those of the related taxa by the shape of the cucullus and the length and armature of the vesica (see also Kononenko & Han 2007).
Distribution
