8C5F87A41C2CFFAF45CC149CFF76CCB8.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The name (Lat., adj.; with a sack or bellow) refers to the conspicuous shape of the base of the flagelloid structure in the internal sac of the aedeagus.	en	Assing, Volker (2006): New species and records of Masuria Cameron, with a key to species.

8C5F87A41C2CFFAF45CC149CFF76CCB8.taxon	discussion	Comparative notes: From the similar sympatric and syntopic M. k leebergi, M. fo llita is at once distinguished by the shorter antennae with distinctly transverse preapical antennomeres, by the distinctly shorter legs and tarsi, the posteriorly less distinctly tapering abdomen, the denser abdominal puncturation, as well as by the distinctly smaller aedeagus with a less pronounced crista apicalis and an internal flagelloid structure of completely different shape. From the sympatric M. loebli and M. sculpticollis, it is easily separated by the different morphology of the aedeagus, as well as by the distinctly darker coloration (M, lo eb li) and the much more slender pronotum with less pronounced lateral angles and with well-defined puncturation (M. sculpticollis).

8C5F87A41C20FFA045F313B8FE64CDF3.taxon	discussion	Comparative notes: The species is readily distinguished from all other Chinese representatives of the genus by its extremely short elytra alone. From M. ch in en sis and M. y u n n a n ica, the only other species of the subgenus O ncom ecbusa known to occur in China, it is additionally separated by the shorter antennae, the shorter legs with shorter tarsi, the more slender pronotum (in relation to head), as well as by smaller body size.	en	Assing, Volker (2006): New species and records of Masuria Cameron, with a key to species.

8C5F87A41C21FFA5457813C5FBC9CD01.taxon	discussion	In the following key, references to illustrations in the literature are abbreviated as follows: A 98 = A s s in g (1998); A 04 = A s s in g (2004); P 89 = P a c e (1989); P 98 = P a c e (1998). The distinguishing characters of M. fe r r u g in e a, M. ru b id a, M. ru fescem, M. b esu ch eti, and M. tashigaonensis, of which no material was seen, are based on the descriptions and keyprovided by Pace (1989).	en	Assing, Volker (2006): New species and records of Masuria Cameron, with a key to species.
