Diagnosis
This species resembles M. clifton and M. deserticola in having the eyes equal in size, in body shape and the abdominal colour pattern with one pair of pale dots on top, but can be distinguished by the annulated legs with dark brown femur I and the extremely long, concave and twisted PE and the shape of FA in the male palp.
