Diagnosis
This large species resembles M. complector and M. piankai, in having the AME largest and in the general shape of the male palp with extremely long, concave and twisted PE. It can be distinguished from all other Masasteron species by the combination of a concave PE and the s-shaped sperm duct that crosses the TF completely.
