Material examined. Holotype: ♀, BURMA, Schwegoo-myo: leg. L. Fea, 1885 ( MSNG, examined) . Other material examined. BURMA, Carin Cheba, Bia-po: 1♀, no date, leg. L. Fea ( MSNG) ; 1♂, 1♀, leg. L. Fea, 1885–1889 ( MSNG, originally identified as S. exornata ) . Carin Asciuii Ghecu: 1♀, leg. L. Fea, 1885–1889

( MSNG). Palon: 1♀, leg. L. Fea, 1885–1889 ( MSNG, originally identified as S. exornata ). Mons-karin [misspelling for Carin which was commonly used in other labels]: 1♀, leg. L. Fea, 1885–1889 ( ZMUC, originally identified as S. exornata ) .

Remarks. Females of M. fronto can be recognized by the narrow epigynal plate with posterior median projection protruding over an epigastric furrow, and by the widely separated spermathecae. Males can be distinguished by the filiform embolus, and by the apically bifid TA provided with a broad prolateral flange and a sharp meso-retrolateral tooth.

Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Burma.
