Belongs to the group with vein M+Cu of forewing distinctly widened apically. Ventral halves of mesopleuron and metapleuron largely black; first metasomal tergite subparallel-sided. Most similar to M. jennyphillipsae because of the largely black hind femur and first metasomal tergite but differs by having large ocelli (POL approx. 0.8 × diameter of posterior ocellus; approx. 1.5 × in M. jennyphillipsae ) and face pale yellow medio-dorsally (partly dark brown in M. jennyphillipsae ).

Holotype ♀.
