Discussion. The identity of this species was correctly elucidated and the genitalia accurately figured by Kerzhner (1966), however, on the contrary of his redescription, the ventral surface of the hind tibia is provided with long semierect hairs which are about 1.5–1.9 times as long as diameter of hind tibia in this species. In respect of the vestiture of the tibiae of M. lateralis is rather similar to M. calcaratus .

Distribution. This species occurs in the temperate steppic habitats of East Asia from Mongolia and northern China to the Korean Peninsula and adjacent regions of the Russian Far East; a distribution map was presented by Putshkov (1986: 98, fig. 54). It is fairly widely distributed and locally abundant in northern China; its distribution can be summarized as follows: Inner Mongolia: Alxa League!, Horqin Distr.!, Mt. Daqing!, several additional localities ( Liu & Nonnaizab 1985; Nonnaizab 1986, 1999; Ma et al. 1991); Heilongjiang!; Liaoning!; Hebei!; Beijing!; Tianjin!; Shanxi: Taiyuan!, Jiang County!, Zhongtiao Mts.!, Mt. Heng, Shilou, Yongji ( Li 1981, Li et al. 2007); Shaanxi!; Shandong!; Henan: Mt. Song, Xinyang, Dengfeng ( Li 1983, Shen 1993, Shen et al. 2014); Gansu: Wen County ( Zhang 1987).
