BOLD Specimens Examined. 4 further specimens ( BIOUG 40594-C12, BIOUG 40668-C04, BIOUG 41075-H03, BIOUG 41217-F04)from the same locality as the holotype ( IAVH).

Diagnosis. This species differs from the sympatric M. colombizona by about 10% mean divergence in the barcode ( Fig. 1), as well as the wing shape ( Fig. 24). The most similar barcode is that of M. winnizona , from which it differs by 6.8% minimum p-distance ( Fig. 1, Table 1).

This species is in the BOLD as BOLD:ADV9367.

Distribution. Colombia.
