Subgenital plate (Fig. 7 e) with about 4 macrosetae near central margin and 3 peglike microsetae beneath subapical angulate projection. Style (Fig. 7 f) sinuated in dorsal view, preapical lobe central. Connective (Fig. 7 g) Y-shaped, lateral arms relatively broad.

Diagnosis. Similar to M. lata sp. nov., but pygofer side much longer with dorso-caudal angle narrow, and ventral process of aedeagus slim.
Etymology. This new specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “ angustus ”, meaning narrow, referring to the relatively slim ventral process of aedeagal shaft.
