Diagnosis. Differs from the most similar subspecies M. p. projectum by having more slender promeres (P) (see Fig. 4e View FIGURES 4 a – l in comparison with Fig. 4j View FIGURES 4 a – l ) and by the smaller apical serrated lobe (sl) of the promere—discernible from posterior view only ( Fig. 4e View FIGURES 4 a – l ).

Both processes of the opisthomere (ap and pp) well-developed; the solenomere’s posterior process (psp) mostly—at least slightly, depending on individual variation—longer than the anterior process (psp) ( Figs 4e–f View FIGURES 4 a – l ).

Body length and height: males: 26.8–44mm, 2–3.4mm; females: 34.4–48.2mm, 3.2–4.3mm.

Remarks. Widespread subspecies of M. projectum , distributed in the northern part of the species’ distribution area, with a southern border formed by the Carpathians and the Alps; its status has been recently clarified by Lazányi & Korsós (2011); in the Netherlands it shows the westernmost occurrence of the genus in continental Europe.
