Redescription: Body brown with bronzy lustre or without, sometimes dark-brown, margins of pronotum and elytra sometimes lighter; legs brown. Body distinctly rounded, wide, elytral apices not elongated or weakly elongated. Head large, vertex wide, eyes flattened, rarely weakly convex. Surface of a head with well developed shagrination. Antennae (especially in males) clearly thickened. Pronotum short with very wide and weakly rounded base. Pronotal surface covered with well developed, large shagrination; punctation large, shallow, usually poorly visible. Elytra with punctation arranged in regular striae, sometimes partly confused, secondary punctation smaller than strial, not dense, rarely striae more confused and secondary punctation large. Legs distinctly thickened, wide (especially in males). First protarsomere of male large, long, and wide. Tibiae straight or weakly curved. Hind femora wide. Aedeagus ( Fig. 3J, K ) ventrally with apical 1/3 with clear, often rounded margins and rounded apex without distinct denticle, medial third usually narrower than apical, from lateral view apical third wide, sharply narrowed to apex. Body length – 1.28-1.61 mm , width – 0.95-1.19 mm . Differential diagnosis: Differs from M. muscorum : structure of aedeagus ( Fig. 3J, K ) with apex short in posterior view rounded, apex laterally rounded, apically without denticle instead of apex elongated or short with straight margins and well developed denticle ( Fig. 2 ); body more rounded (Fig. A-C); eyes flattened; prothorax shorter ( Fig. 3E ); first protarsomere of male thicker and longer ( Fig. 3G ); first metatarsomere of male longer ( Fig. 3F ); colouration of the body somewhat lighter, brown to dark brownish with bronzy lustre; elytral punctures usually sparser, usually arranged in regular striae, secondary punctation smaller, usually weakly developed. From M. turcica differs: in structure of aedeagus: apex short at view from behind with rounded sided, apex rounded, without denticle instead of aedeagus ventrally with apical third gradually narrowed to apex; apex almost straight with large denticle; punctated pronotum, tibiae usually thinner and less curved, segments of antennae wider. From M. taurica sp. n. differs: structure of aedeagus with apex short in posterior view, laterally rounded, apex rounded, without denticle instead of aedeagus ventrally toward apex parallel-sided, wide, apical 1/4 with straight, narrowing sides and with distinct and straight apex with rather short and wide denticle or with poorly developed one; coloration of the body (without green reflection); legs and antennae thicker, head larger and of another structure, shagrination of the head more developed, punctation of elytra usually more regular and larger; differs also in the shape of pronotum.
