The courtship display of the M. tortus male is very unusual in that only one ornamented side of the fan is displayed to a female at a time, even when the fan is held at the center as shown here. Rotation of the fan, twisted (hence the name tortus ) from one side to the other and then back again, is complicated but follows a regular pattern that is described in detail with the published description of this species.
