Pygofer dorsal appendage broad subapically and tapering towards each side, ventral margin with distinct protrusion subapically; without ventral appendage (Fig. 12a). Subgenital plate rounded apically; lateral margin with irregular rows of short stout setae subbasally forming one row from middle part to apex; with 3 macrosetae in subapical area (Fig. 12c). Style with apex quite broad, foot-like (Fig. 12d). Aedeagal shaft short, ventral margin with pair of flaky, triangular extensions, apex concave in ventral view; preatrium much longer than shaft; gonopore subapical on ventral surface (Figs 12f, g).

Material examined: Holotype: ♂, China: Shaanxi Prov., Qinling, Mt. Tiantai, 1900m, 3 ix 1999, coll. I. Dworakowska (NWAFU); paratypes: 16♂♂, same date as holotype; 1♂ 6♀♀, Sichuan Prov., Wolong City, 2100m, 26 x 1999, coll. Qin Daozheng; 4♂♂ 50♀♀, Sichuan Prov., Wolong City, 2000m, 27 x 1999, coll. Qin Daozheng; 3♂♂ 8♀♀, Sichuan Prov., Wolong City, 2000m, 27 x 1999, coll. I. Dworakowska; 2♂♂, Sichuan Prov., Wolong City, 1950m, 27 x 1999, coll. I. Dworakowska; 1♂ 6♀♀, Sichuan Prov., Huding County, Hailuogou, 2700m, 5 xi 1999, coll. Qin Daozheng; 2♀♀, Sichuan Prov., Huding County, Hailuogou, 3300m, 4 xi 1999, coll.

Diagnosis: This new species is similar to M. circularis sp. nov., but the pygofer ventral appendage is absent, the upper margin of the style preapical lobe is straight, and apex of the aedeagal shaft is concave in ventral view.

Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “ turgidus ”, referring to style apex expanded.
