Distribution.
M. melica is known from Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Uganda, Gabon and Ivory Coast ( Karsch 1893, Massa 2013, Holstein 2015, present paper).
Remarks.
The left tegmen of M. melica has a small brown spot covering only the stridulatory area, costal area of tegmina has regularly spaced crossveins (Fig. 17 View Figures 15–18 ) and cerci are slender, apically flattened and end with a small inner spine (Figs 47 View Figures 45–50 , 48 View Figures 45–50 ). The mirror of the right tegmen is as wide as in M. hamuligera (Fig. 17 View Figures 15–18 ). The stridulatory file is 2.3 mm long, arched and composed of ca. 70 widely spaced teeth (Fig. 25 View Figures 23–26 ). The inner ventral spur of mid tibiae is long and does not exceed the first tarsal article; its length is about 12-12.5% the length of the tibia. On the outer ventral margin of mid tibiae, three close short spines are present (Fig. 33 View Figures 27–34 ).
