Taxonomic note

Yoshimatsu (1994) revived M. pulchra Snellen from synonymy with decisissima (though it is still listed as such in Nielsen et al. (1996)). The group of spines on the aedeagus vesica is more elongate, with the more robust distal one straight rather than angled. The spines are also shorter and about twice as numerous. Yoshimatsu (1995) recorded a single male from Sepilok, near Sandakan in the lowlands of Sabah.
