Adult females of the four new grassland peacock spider species. Females within this group are very similar with respect to size and colouration and can be difficult to identify. 1-4, The female M. aurantius, like the male, has a narrow light brown stripe running along either side of the midline of the opisthosoma. These are less distinct than in the male and variable with respect to their colour and definition. These stripes can also be found, generally with less definition, in some female M. cinereus (7), or M. lentus (9). 5-12, Female M. cinereus (5-8) and M. lentus (9-12) have similar scale patterns on the dorsal opisthosoma. M. lentus females may have more distinct chevrons along the midline of the opisthosoma, but some M. cinereus females (8) also have these. 13-16, Like the male, the female M. neptunus has one median and two lateral dark stripes along the length of the dorsal opisthosoma, all well-defined." figureDoi="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7172690" httpUri="https://zenodo.org/record/7172690/files/figure.png" pageId="3" pageNumber="4">Figure 3</figureCitation>

The eye region of the male is covered with dull orange setae, and the dorsal opisthosoma is marked with a narrow, shiny or light blue stripe on either side of the midline leading back to a small black posterior spot, on a background of bright red-orange setae.

The eye region and the sides of the carapace just below the lateral eyes are covered with uniform dull orange to brown scales or setae. The sides of the carapace are light brown and translucent and may bear two narrow vertical stripes of off-white setae. There is no marginal band and the lateral rims of the carapace are clearly visible.

The dorsal plate of the opisthosoma bears five relatively distinct longitudinal bands of colourful setae. The median band is comprised of bright red-orange pigmented scales, flanked on either side by a band of light green to blue to purple iridescent scales, in turn flanked by a lateral band of bright red-orange pigmented scales. In certain lighting conditions the iridescent bands appear as a pair of dark stripes on a red-orange field (
