Measurements male / female.

Head length: 1.05 / 1.155; head width: 1.99 / 2.2; pronotum length: 1.85 / 1.98; pronotum width: 2.99 / 3.36; tegmen length: 8.66 / 9.18; tegmen width: 2.96 / 3.14; total length: 10.46 / 11.12 (in mm).

Diagnosis.

Tegmina black with two wide transverse orange bands, with margins approximately straight, posterior band never fragmented into spots; pygofer with one finger-like process between anal tube and subgenital plate, subgenital plate with an acute apex, basal process short and rounded.

Redescription.

Head black, vertex subretangular with a slightly marked median carina, scarce pubescence, ocelli closer to each other than to eyes, separated by about one and a half diameter from each other; tylus quadrangular, black, basal third with slightly marked carina, becoming indistinct towards the apex (Fig. 9 A); antenna brownish, pedicel sparsely setose; basal body of flagellum subcylindrical with a single and short arista shorter than the pedicel length. Postclypeus black, inflated, with convex profile, longitudinal carina present, lateral grooves slightly marked (Fig. 9 B, C); rostrum with second segment reddish and third segment black, reaching the base of mesocoxae. Pronotum black, hexagonal, with muscular insertions slightly apparent, median carina slightly marked; anterior and anterolateral margins straight, posterolateral with slight sinuosity and posterior margin medially grooved, humeral angles acute scutellum black, with slight central concavity and slightly marked horizontal grooves. Tegmina (Fig. 9 A, B) narrow, black, with two transverse wide bands orange: one between basal and medium third and another between medium and apical third; veins M and Cu 1 united at base, veins A 1 and A 2 distincts, apical reticulation developed, prominent venation. Hindwings hyaline, with brownish venation, Cu 1 thickened at the base, hamuli with three or four spines. Legs reddish, metathoracic femur with a small apical spine; tibia with two lateral spines, basal one smaller than the ones located at apical crown, which has 12–14 spines arranged in two rows; basitarsus with three rows of spines covered by long setae; subungueal process present. — MALE: Genitalia: Pygofer (Fig. 9 D) with one finger-like process between anal tube and subgenital plate; subgenital plate narrowing towards apex, which is acute and spine-like directed outward (in ventral view) (Fig. 9 E), dorsal margin with rounded elevation covered with small tooth-like spines; basal process of subgenital plate short and rounded followed by and excavation. Paramere (Fig. 9 F) subretangular, dorsal margin rounded and developed, apex subtriangular and slightly acute with long setae; subapical hook-like spine bearing small denticles in the inferior margin, directed outwards and forward. Aedeagus (Fig. 9 G – I) subcylindrical, narrowing towards apex, with a pair of straight dorsal processes, shorter than half length of shaft and inserted between median and apical third of aedeagus. — FEMALE: Morphology similar to that of the male, but slightly larger in relation to total body length. First valvula of ovipositor long (Fig. 9 J, K), with acute apex, basal process rounded and undeveloped, directed downwards; second valvula (Fig. 9 L) long with rounded apex and dorsal margin covered by teeth in apical third; third valvula short and wide, with rounded apex, covered ventrally by long setae.

Remarks. M. (I.) integra shares morphological similarities in the male genitalia with M. (I.) rubicunda and M. (I.) rubripennis . These include a rounded and short basal process on the subgenital plate followed by an excavation and a rounded elevated dorsal margin. M. (I.) integra exhibits variation in tegmina proportion with some specimens having wider tegmina comparing to others. While the color and pattern of transverse bands on the tegmina resembles those of M. (I.) rubicunda, the bands on M. (I.) integra are wider. Furthermore, M. (I.) integra has a predominantly black body color with reddish legs.
