Similar to M. jonathanfranzeni sp. nov. because of the largely black hind femur and tibia and largely blackish head, but differs by the longer vein 1Cua of forewing (approx. as long as vein cu-a; much shorter than vein cu-a in M. jonathanfranzeni ), widened vein 1A of forewing, first tergite more widened posteriorly (ca. 2.3 × longer than wide apically; ca. 2.8 × in M. jonathanfranzeni ) and partly yellowish brown.
