Identification
Online Description/Photos: BugGuide Google, iNaturalist, Wikipedia, GBIF
Comments: This species is very close to M. lineata in coloration and structure. The male, however, can easily be separated from other members of the lineata group in having the cymbium of the palp flattened and the tibial apophysis in the form of a single curved projection. The epigynum of the female is identical to that of M. sulcosa, and females can be separated from those of that species only by smaller size and geographical location.
Total Length: MALE: Total lenigth, 3:28-3.80 mm. FEMALE: Total length, 4.00-5.80 mm.
