The description does not compare
Malkinia
to any other genus, but mentions that it is distinguished from other genera by the ventrally rounded fore and middle femora as well as the presence of styli. Apart from the slightly more transparent tegmina, Piza’s two male specimens look like typical members of the large genus
Microcentrum
. And for example
M. lanceolatum
and
M. marginatum
do have styli, even longer ones than
M. gurupi
.
