Diagnosis.

The species is similar to M. maculitibia Takeuchi, 1933 in general morphological characteristics: body and legs mainly black; lancet narrow and long, serrulae somewhat oblique, almost linear, middle serrulae each with 2 proximal and 9-13 distal teeth, subbasal teeth somewhat small and clear in both, but can be distinguished from the latter in having metepimeronal appendage less shiny than the latter, broad and large, with dense and fine punctures and some long hairs; postocellar area 2.3 × broader than long; antenna as long as head and thorax together; mesoscutellum elevated, rounded, as high as top of mesonotum. M. maculitibia : metepimeronal appendage very shiny than the former, somewhat narrow and smooth, without punctures or long hairs; postocellar area 2.5 × broader than long; antennae somewhat longer than head and thorax together; mesoscutellum elevated, somewhat higher than top of mesonotum.

Variability.

Some female specimens with hind tibia entirely black, dorsal side without a small white macula subapically. This macula is described as present in the original description (Chen et al. 2015).
