Remarks. M. collina was previously known only from the holotype male and a paratype male from summit forest, 2500 m, Doi Inthanon NP, Chiang Mai, Thailand ( Hippa 2008a). The female was previously unknown. It is similar to the male and can be distinguished from the other Oriental species by the broadly infuscated apical part of the wing ( Fig. 1 E). The flagellomere 4 ( Fig. 1 B) is rather long for a female, but similar species do occur. The terminalia ( Fig. 1 G) are of the common Manota type with two long setae on each side of tergite 9 and with two-segmented cercus.
