Diagnosis.

The species is similar to M. jiuzhaina Chen & Wei, 2005 in general morphology characteristics which are body and legs mainly black; lancet narrow and long, serrulae somewhat oblique, almost linear, middle serrulae each with 2 proximal and 9-13 distal teeth, subbasal teeth somewhat small and clear in both, but can be distinguished from the latter in having metepimeronal appendage very shiny, somewhat narrow and smooth, without punctures or long hairs; postocellar area 2.5 × broader than long; antennae somewhat longer than head and thorax together; mesoscutellum elevated, somewhat higher than top of mesonotum. M. maculitibia : metepimeronal appendage less shiny, broad and large, with dense and fine punctures and some long hairs; postocellar area 2.3 × broader than long; antenna as long as head and thorax together; mesoscutellum elevated, rounded, as high as top of mesonotum.
