The velutinus View in CoL View at ENA group

The two members of this group are similar but can be separated by the stripes on the carapace of M. velutinus . Males of both species have a velvety-black fan with elongated, black dorsal scales (or squamous setae after Waldock 2015) that extend to the rear. The fan is raised and moved from side to side but they do not raise legs III as they display to females.
