Measurements male / female.
Head length: 0.90 / 1.02; head width: 1.82 / 1.98; pronotum length: 1.65 / 1.82; pronotum width: 2.76 / 3.04; tegmen length: 7.34 / 8.06; tegmen width: 2.26 / 2.56; total length: 8.79 / 10.11 (in mm).
Diagnosis.
Tegmina red with black, rounded spots on apical plexus of veins; subgenital plate with an acute apex, basal process short and rounded followed by an excavation, paramere with a finger-like apex.
Redescription.
Head black, vertex subretangular, with a slightly marked median carina in the apical third, ocelli closer to each other than to eyes, separated by about one and a half diameter from each other; tylus quadrangular, black, with its basal third with slightly marked carina, becoming indistinct towards the apex (Fig. 11 A); antenna black, pedicel sparsely setose, basal body of flagellum subcylindrical with a single and short arista shorter than the pedicel length. Postclypeus black, inflated, with convex profile, longitudinal carina present, lateral grooves slightly marked (Fig. 11 B, C); rostrum with second segment reddish and third segment black, reaching the base of mesocoxae. Pronotum black, hexagonal, with muscular insertions slightly apparent, median carina slightly marked; anterior and anterolateral margins straight; posterolateral with slight sinuosity and posterior margin medially grooved, humeral angles acute; scutellum black, with slight central concavity and slightly marked horizontal grooves. Tegmina (Figs 11 A, B) narrow, red, with black, rounded spots on apical plexus of veins; veins M and Cu 1 united at base, veins A 1 and A 2 distincts, apical reticulation developed, prominent venation. Hindwings hyaline, with brownish venation, Cu 1 thickened at the base, hamuli with three spines. Legs brownish, metathoracic femur with a small apical spine; tibia with two lateral spines, basal one smaller than the ones located at apical crown, which has 10–12 spines arranged in two rows; basitarsus with three rows of spines covered by long setae; subungueal process present. — MALE: Genitalia: Pygofer (Fig. 11 D) with one finger-like process between anal tube and subgenital plate; subgenital plate narrowing towards apex, which is acute and spine-like slightly directed outward (in ventral view) (Fig. 11 E); dorsal margin with rounded elevation covered with small tooth-like spines; basal process of subgenital plate short and rounded followed by an excavation. Paramere (Fig. 11 F) subretangular, dorsal margin rounded and developed; with an elongated and finger-like apex; subapical hook-like spine directed outwards and forward. Aedeagus (Fig. 11 G – I) subcylindrical, narrowing towards apex, with a pair of straight dorsal processes, shorter than half length of shaft and inserted between median and apical thirds of aedeagus. — FEMALE: Morphology similar to that of the male, but slightly larger in relation to total body length. First valvula of ovipositor long (Fig. 11 J, K), with acute apex, basal process rounded and undeveloped, directed downwards and backwards; second valvula long (Fig. 11 L), with rounded apex and dorsal margin covered by teeth in apical third; third valvula short and wide, with rounded apex, covered ventrally by long setae.
Remarks.
The male genitalia of M. (I.) rubripennis differs from M. (I.) integra due to the elongated paramere apex and the slightly longer subgenital plate. Additionally, the pattern and coloration of the tegmina are quite distinct between these species and can be used as a diagnostic character. M. (I.) rubripennis is the only species within the genus that exhibits red tegmina with a pattern of black maculae covering the apical reticulum, making it readily distinguishable from the other species.
