Notes. Specimens of the two subspecies M. f. formosensis and M. f. chinensis in RMNH show some interesting differences: basitarsus of hind leg as long as length of tarsomeres 2–4 combined in M. formosensis (hind basitarsus

0.8 times length of tarsomeres 2–4 combined in M. chinensis ); setae on metasomal tergites entirely reddish brown (yellow, except blackish on epipygium); spiracular angles nearly glabrous (densely setose). More specimens are necessary to confirm the status of the subspecies M. f. chinensis .
