Type, 3, in coll. Godman & Salvin. Total length 5 millim. 
Colour very similar to that of M. lanceolatus, but the abdominal band is not broken in front. Tibia i. with the 
three spines on the inner side close together, in rather less than the apical half, but not so near the apex 
as in M. lanceolatus. Mandibles very stout and clothed with white hairs on the basal half above. Palpal 
bulb small, but basally extending on the tibia, with a slender spiraloid spine on the inner apical side, its 
apex long, aculeate, directed forward and somewhat across the tarsus at its apex; tibial spur stout, 
nearly straight, sharp at the apex. Mandible very stout, convex above, with a stout tooth (or spur) on 
the upperside opposed by a pair of smaller ones on the lower side. 
Protarsus iv. with lateral as well as apical spines. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion).

eyes, and extending nearly to the base. Abdomen rich chocolate-brown (possibly clothed with iridescent 
scales), with a white marginal band, broken in front, extending to the spinners, in the apical fourth with 
two white points running inward, traces of the usual white spots; lateral area spotted with brown; 
ventral area pale yellow, slightly speckled with brown. Legs i. deep brown, ii., iii, and iv. yellow, 
unicolorous. 
Carapace elongate, not inflated behind the posterior eyes laterally, compressed instead. Paired spines beneath 
tibia i. extending to the middle of the segment. Bulb of palpus broader in front; apical spine black, 
curved and furculate at the apex ; tibial spur as long as the segment, sharp and sinuous. Mandibles not
