Taxonomic note
Specimens previously reported as M. tubinaris from South-east Asia, including Lao PDR, were recently recognized as a distinct species, M. cineracea (in Csorba et al., 2011); however, based on the examination of the holotype of M. feae from Myanmar, Francis and Eger (2012) suggested that the latter is the appropriate name for this species. This is followed here.
