description
Figs 7 – 9, 17 – 18, 26, 28
diagnosis
Diagnosis. This species is morphologically close to M. anatolica sp. n. by having a similar shape of the conductor and especially the twisted lamellar terminal end of the ventral part of the conductor. The two species can be separated by (1) the shape of the median apophysis, being massive and with irregular shape in M. cariae (Figs 7, 26) vs. narrow and pointed apically in M. anatolica sp. n. (Figs 4, 21); and (2) females differ from those of M. anatolica sp. n. by the narrower receptacles (Fig 18).
discussion
Remarks. When describing the species, Brignoli (1978) did not depict the most diagnostic ventral side of the palp, hence the identification of the male was problematic. The new photographs and drawings presented here help clarifying its identity.
