G.A. Baer, deposited in MNHN, collection of E. Simon; allotype ♀, same data as holotype, both examined by photographs);  Galiano, 1962: 36, pl. I, figs 1–5;  Galiano, 1963: 395, pl. XXVIII, figs 7–10.  Note.Both sexes are redescribed based on newly collected specimens. Photographs of the typespecimens were provided by MNHN ( Figs 4A–G).   Diagnosis.The males of  M. baeriare most similar to those of  M. linae  sp. nov.by having a short process on the embolic disc (PED; 5C, 7A, 13C, 15A), but differ by having a thicker embolic disc ( Figs 57A–B). Besides, the embolus shaft (e) in  M. baeriemerges from a less proximal portion of embolic disc and is consequently shorter than the embolus of  M. linae  sp. nov.(best visualized cleared in clove oil; Figs 7F, 9C, 15E, 16A). The females of  M. baeridiffer from those of  M. linae  sp. nov.by having the copulatory openings separated by approximately three times the girth of the copulatory duct and by its placement anterior to the primary spermathecae ( Figs 6C, 7G–H, 58A), whereas they are very close (separated by less than 1/2 their diameter) and placed at the same level of the primary spermathecae in  M. linae  sp. nov.( Figs 14C, 15F–G, 58B). Also, females of  M. baerihave the distal portion of the primary spermathecae projecting laterally ( Figs 6C, 7H, 58A), whereas they project anteriorly in  M. linae  sp. nov.( Figs 14C, 15G, 58B). Females of  M. baeriare also very similar to those of  M. femella, both with copulatory openings far from each other and the distal portion of primary spermathecae projecting laterally ( Figs 58A, D). However, in  M. baerithe initial portion of spermathecae is dilated, whereas the spermathecae of  M. femellahave an elliptical shape ( Figs 58A, D).   Description. Male(QCAZ).Total length: 3.12.
