There are two species in this BIN ( M. harisridhari and M. hiroshikidonoi ) that differ by almost 2%, and both share having the metasoma dark brown medio-dorsally, vein 1Cua of forewing distinctly longer than vein cu-a, R1b paler than pterostigma, and vein cu-a curved and posteriorly widened. Their barcodes form two groups with no intermediates. The two species also differ in color: M. harisridhari is darker than M. hiroshikidonoi i.e., M. harisridhari is dark brown where M. hiroshikidonoi is light reddish brown, and brownish yellow where M. hiroshikidonoi is light yellow. Morphologically, both are very similar, but M. harisridhari differs by having the first metasomal tergite slightly widened posteriorly and slightly shorter POL (0.7 × diameter of posterior ocellus vs. 0.9 × in M. hiroshikidonoi .
