Diagnosis. Antennae five-segmented, first and second antennomeres subequal in length; segment X of pygophore wider than long, apex rounded with abundant setae; lateral angles of laterotergites VIII projected well beyond the line connecting the mesial thrichobotria of urosternite VII, and covering completely the base of laterotergites IX.

Male. Genitalia: conical projection of the ventral rim of pygophore single, with apical setae; posterolateral angles narrowly rounded at apex, medial projection of posterolateral angles tumescent, much shorter than the dorsal limit of segment X in lateral view; lateral projection of dorsal rim thin, spine like and lateral to the posterolateral angle; segment X covered by setae, as wide as high in posterior view, and as wide as long in ventral view (Fig. 4 E–H); apical projection of parameres short, with tuft of setae, largest axis of head less than half the length of stem (Fig. 5D–F); phallus with 2 + 2 lateral projections of vesica; ductus seminis distalis twisted, bifid at secondary gonopore; thin conjunctiva accompanying the full length of ductus seminis distalis (Fig. 5P–R).

Female. Genitalia: Valvifers VIII longer than wide, covering completely the basal portion of the laterotergites IX; lateral angles well projected, surpassing the lateral margin of laterotergites IX and the imaginary line connecting the mesial thrichobotria of urosternite VII; lateral margin of valvifers VIII deflected, covering the limit between laterotergites VIII and IX (Fig. 6B). Folds of valvulae IX with conical microsculptures; thickening of vaginal intima thin and translucent; ring sclerites half the diameter of orificium receptaculi, this about half the width of vaginal intima (Fig. 7B).

Comments. Considerations on the distribution and differential diagnosis of M. spinolae are as treated in the comments made for M. reticulare .
