Identification. Unlike M. hondurensis , males and females of M. pacifica do not show sexual dimorphism on the pattern of hemelytral stripes. Our material was determined based on the scutellum with the anterior half opaque and the posterior half hyaline, hyaline stripes of the claval commissure and hemelytral process fused, median longitudinal hyaline stripe wide ( Figs. 19–20), hemelytral process shorter than membrane, and male fore- and mesotrochanters without groups of ensiform setae ( Barbosa 2014).
