Etymology.
The species name refers to the shape of the subapical process of style.
Remarks.
This new species is superficially similar to
M. hamata
sp. n.
, but can be distinguished from the latter by: (1) pygofer caudal process blunt; (2) subapical process of style directed posteriorly; (3) aedeagal shaft long and curved dorsally, narrowing to sharp apex. The new species is also similar to
M. flavomarginata
(Kuoh & Cai)
n. comb.
, but can be distinguished from the latter by: (1) aedeagus with paired processes arising dorsally; (2) subapical process of style along inner margin unforked.
