Holotype
♀
:
VENEZUELA
:
Distrito Federal
: La Pecha, Isla Los Frailes, leg. Marcuzzi,
XII.1948
, deposited in MUCV 710—not examined); transferred by
Ruiz & Brescovit (2005)
: 754.

Note.
We did not get in contact with the MUCV again, and therefore, for this study, the
holotype
of
M. femella
was not re-examined. The
holotype
was already examined by
Ruiz & Brescovit (2005)
, who provided good diagnostic illustrations. Herein we provided a modified drawing of the cleared epigyne (
Fig. 58D
), based on the drawing of
Ruiz & Brescovit (2005)
. The positions of the Bennett’s glands and the secondary spermathecae remain unknown.
Revised diagnosis.
Among all currently known females of the genus,
M. femella
is most similar to
M. baeri
(
Fig. 6C
) and
M. abaira
sp. nov.
(
Figs 18
C–D) by having the copulatory openings far from each other and the copulatory ducts not encircling the primary spermathecae (
Figs 58A
, C–D). However,
M. femella
(
Fig. 58D
) can be distinguished from
M. baeri
by having elliptical primary spermathecae (the initial region is dilated and the end region is narrow in
M. baeri
;
Figs 6C
,
58A
). Also,
M. femella
can be distinguished from
M. abaira
sp. nov.
by having the copulatory openings placed more posteriorly, the copulatory ducts more arched and the primary spermathecae projected to the external lateral side (anteriorly projected in
M. abaira
sp. nov.
;
Figs 18
C–D, 58C–D).

Distribution.
Known only from the
type
locality (
