Bavia smedleyi Reimoser, 1929: 130-132, fig. 4, holotype female SMF 1127 in SMF from Siberut, Sumatra, examined.

Notes.

This species is close to M. draconis , with similar body form and markings (Figs 225 View Figures 225–228 , 226 View Figures 225–228 ), but differing in details of the epigyne (Figs 227 View Figures 225–228 , 228 View Figures 225–228 ). The atria are shorter, ~ ½ length of the epigyne. Within the atria, the central depressed area is separated from the lateral raised areas by a more distinct and more heavily sclerotized "atrial cliff" ( “ac”, Fig. 227 View Figures 225–228 ). The spermathecae are smaller.
