Type material examined: SeeASSING (2007).

Additional material examined: SPAIN: 1♀, Murcia, Moratalla, Rio Alharabe , 12.X.2002, leg. Lencina (cAss).

Comment: The original description is based on twelve type specimens from the Sierra de Espuña and the Sierra de Segura in South Spain.

Diagnosis: Coloration of body uniformly yellowish, i.e., abdomen not infuscate; hind wings completely reduced.

♂: sternite VIII ( Fig. 69 View Figs 69-79 ) moderately transverse, posterior margin convex; median lobe of aedeagus ( Figs 70-71 View Figs 69-79 ) approximately 0.33 mm long; ventral process straight in basal portion (lateral view); apical lobe of paramere blackish.

♀: sternite VIII ( Fig. 72 View Figs 69-79 ) indistinctly transverse, posterior margin convex, in the middle concave; spermatheca as in Fig. 73 View Figs 69-79 .

The aedeagus is somewhat similar to those of M. moczarskii and M. wunderlei , but distinguished by larger size, a longer, practically straight (lateral view), and apically truncate (ventral view) ventral process. The spermatheca is of the M. parasita type (like that of M. moczarskii ), but distinguished by a longer and more slender distal portion. For additional illustrations see ASSING (2007).

Distribution: SouthSpain.
