The most significant differences are the acute humeral angles (which is characteristic only for the more colourful next species—other differences see there) and the length of the antenniferous tubercle: the eye is 1.58–1.73 times longer than the antenniferous tubercle, while in <i>M. horvathi</i> sp. nov. this ratio is at least 2.0 and in <i>M. microps</i> sp. nov. only 1.07–1.45.
