Material examined.
No material available.
Remarks.
This species needs to be re-studied based on
type
material because its identity is not well established. It may be a synonym of
M
.
laevis
(Ribaut)
based on the length of the aedeagal processes which are longer than in the other species from
Pakistan
. However, although the original drawings of
M
.
shahidi
are poor, the aedeagal shaft is shown as much shorter than in
M
.
laevis
.
Type
specimens and data were not specified in the original description. Although the
type
depository was probably ZMUK, no
type
specimen could be found there.
