( Fig. 15 ) Description . Small species. Male. Head. Antenna with fourth flagellomere 1.8 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing 3, occasionally 4, curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a parasegment apically. Thorax. Anterior basalare and laterotergite each bare. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose. Wing. Length 1.4–1.7 mm . Membrane with a few setae along posterior margin. Sc bare. Junction of CuA2 into CuA1 incomplete. Terminalia ( Fig. 15 ). Similar to M. montivaga , with differences as follows. Sternite 9 with posterior margin convex medially, situated at mid length of gonocoxites. Disto­lateral lobes of gonocoxites bilobed; on dorsal lobe with large, straight setae pointing posteriorly; on ventral lobe with shorter, straight setae pointing inwards. Gonocoxites in position I with 1 large flag­like megaseta at tip; in position II with 3–4 short, blunt megasetae on lobe; in position III with 2 flat megasetae with one megaseta pointed and the other blunt; in position IV with 1 pointed megaseta, or rarely 2 large setae. Gonostyli small; ventro­apically with 1 large and 1 smaller setae, along dorsal margin with 1+5 curved setae directed dorsally plus 1 isolated seta directed posteriorly. Diagnostic characters . Among the species with both anterior basalare and laterotergites bare, it has the terminalia with gonocoxites in position I bearing 1 megaseta of unique, flag­like shape. Etymology . From Latin, vexilliferus , standard­bearing, referring to the peculiar megaseta in position I of the gonocoxites. Types . Holotype .
