Allied to M. cuminghi from the Philippines but inferior in 

 size, larger than M. loivii and gilberti, and even somewhat larger 

 than M. forsteni. 



The System of coloration presents the following modifications 

 from that of Megop. lowii, gilberti and forsteni. The slate-gray 

 of the throat and the underside of the body is tinged with dark 

 brown, whereas the upper surface of the head and of the body 

 behind the mantle is tinged with a rusty, and not with an 

 olivaceous color.
