2’ Parameres longer than phallobase. Dorsal apex of phallobase with a very narrow median process. Protibia short............................................................................... M. peregoi Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, sp. n.
3 Metatarsomeres not carinate laterally. Antennal club short..................................................... 7
3’ Metatarsomeres sharply carinate laterally. Antennal club long.................................................. 4
4 Parameres widened at both sides at apex.............................. M. bansongchana Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu, sp. n.
4’ Parameres not widened or narrowed at apex................................................................ 5
