Holotype male, DENMARK, DK EJ, Nørre Onsild Mose (= bog), 21.v.–5.vi.2017, Esben Bøggild (CUMZ-8-158). 2 paratype males as holotype.</p><p>Description. Male. Head as Fig. 11. Cheek with 3 bristles and jowl with 2 that are longer and more robust. Postpedicels without SPS vesicles. Thorax brown. Two notopleural bristles and no cleft in front of these. Mesopleuron bare. Scutellum with an anterior pair of short hairs and a posterior pair of bristles. Abdominal tergites brown with numerous hairs that are longest at their rear margins, especially on T6.

Specimens with the CI &lt;0.44 run to Group VII couplet lead 1 (see above). In the key to British species (Disney, 1989) it runs to couplet 20, but its hypopygium differs from the two species of this couplet and that of M. latericia Schmitz that runs to the same couplet. It has a different hypopygium (Figs 6 &amp; 7 in Disney, 2011a).</p><p>Etymology.

Cheek with 2 bristles and jowl with 2 that are longer and more robust. Postpedicels without SPS. Labella from below as Fig. 22. Thorax brown. With 3 notopleural bristles and no cleft in front of these. Mesopleuron bare. Scutellum with an anterior pair of small hairs and a posterior pair of bristles. Abdominal tergites brown with small hairs but longer at the rear of T6 (Fig. 23). Venter gray, and with small hairs on segments 3–6. Hypopygium as Figs 23–25. Legs yellowish but the hind femur gradually darkening towards its tip (Fig. 28). Fore tarsus with posterodorsal hair palisade on segments 1–4 and 5 longer than 4 (Fig. 26). Dorsal hair palisade of mid tibia extends almost two thirds its length (Fig. 27). Hairs below basal half of hind femur longer than those of anteroventral row of outer half (Fig. 28). Hind tibia with about 15 differentiated posterodorsal hairs, without anterodorsals (Fig. 28), and spinules of apical combs simple. Wings (Fig. 29) 1.42 mm long. Costal index 0.41. Costal ratios 5.2: 2.1–2.2: 1. Costal cilia (of section 3) 0.09 mm long. Hair at base of vein 3 0.03 mm long. With 2 unequal axillary bristles, the outermost being 0.10 mm long. Sc almost reaching or just reaching R1, depending on the focus (Figs 30 &amp; 31). Haltere knob grayish.</p><p>Recognition. In the key of Lundbeck (1922) to Group VII it runs to couplet 6, lead 1 to M. lactipeniis (Lundbeck), which however has brown legs, or to couplet 19, lead 1 to M. lata (Wood), which has a different hypopygium. In the key to the males of the British Isles (Disney, 1989) two critical characters, the grayish colour of the haltere knob and whether vein Sc runs to vein 1 or not depending on the focus, are intermediate. It runs to couplet 191, but neither option fits. Alternatively it runs to couplet 204, where lead 1 runs to couplet 235 lead 2 to M. lutescens (Wood), but its hypopygium is clearly different. Two further species running to this couplet have the costal index exceeding 0.5, apart from different hypopygia. Treating the haltere knob as dark it runs to couplet 267, lead 2, which returns one to couplet 190 and on to 191, where the hypopygia clearly differ. Of species not covered by the key M. intergeriva Schmitz runs to couplet 267, but its hypopygium also clearly differs (see Disney, 2011a). M. garwolinensis Disney &amp; Durska (2014) runs to couplet 191 but its labella are not enlarged and spinose and its hypopygium differs.</p><p>Etymology.

For lead 1 to M. aculeata (Schmitz), then only known as the female, the hypopygium of the subsequently described male (Schmitz, 1958) is different. In the key to the males of the British Isles (Disney, 1989) it runs to couplet 48 where neither lead applies along with several excluded species running to the same couplet. A note suggests trying couplet 60 if both options don’t apply. One then proceeds to couplet 98 where neither lead fits and the subsequently added M. sollii Disney (2015) has a different hypopygium. In Abteilung III of Schmitz (1958) it runs to couplet 27, where the hypopygia are different.</p><p>Etymology.

However, at couplet 59 lead 2 the hypopygium of M. spinata (Wood) is very similar apart from the hypandria, with the single lobe being on the right side in M. spinata but in the left side in M. legrandi . In addition the legs are paler in M. spinata with the hind femur being yellow with a brown tip. In the keys of Schmitz (1957) for Abteilung II it runs to couplet 13 lead 1 to M. rudis .</p><p>Etymology.

The postpedicels have a few large SPS vesicles which are not smoothly spherical (Figs 81–82). Cheek with 5 bristles, the lowest being longer and more robust, and jowl with 2 that are longer and more robust. Left face of thorax as Fig. 83, having 3 notopleural bristles and no cleft in front of these, mesopleuron with 13 hairs. Scutellum with an anterior pair of hairs and a posterior pair of bristles. Abdominal tergites light brown with numerous hairs which are longest at the rear of T6). Venter gray, and with hairs on segments 3–6. Hypopygium as Figs 84–87. Legs light brown to brownish yellow. Fore tarsus (Fig. 89) with posterodorsal hair palisade on segments 1–5 and ratios of segment lengths 2.75: 1.5: 1.3: 1.1: 1. Dorsal hair palisade of mid tibia extends about 0.9 times its length (Fig 89). Hind femur as Fig. 90. Hind tibia with a dozen differentiated posterodorsal hairs, without anterodorsals, and spinules of apical combs simple. Wings (Fig. 91) 2.2 mm long. Costal index 0.48. Costal ratios 5.0–5.1: 2.3: 1. Costal cilia (of section 3) 0.16–0.17 mm long. Hair at base of vein 3 only 0.03 mm long. With 4 axillary bristles, the outermost being 0.14 mm long. Sc not reaching R1. Haltere knob dusky.</p><p>Recognition. In the key of Lundbeck (1922) to Group IV couplet 27 or 30, but the hypopygium differs from these species. In the key to the males of the British Isles (Disney, 1989) it runs to couplet 121. Lead 1 proceeds to 122 where the hypopygium differs from thee two species covered. Lead 2 proceeds to couplet 139 lead 2. M. subpleuralis (Wood), but its hypopygium differs; also the hair at the base of vein 3 is longer (0.08–0.11 mm long). Other species running to this couplet have only 2 axillary bristles. In the key of Schmitz &amp; Beyer (1965) to Abteilung IV Zweite Reihe it readily runs to couplet 57 where the choice is between a yellow or dark haltere knob. Our specimen has a dusky knob but not dark brown. Taking lead 1 one runs to M. subpleuralis at couplet 81 or to couplet 83, where the costal index is intermediate. Lead 1 proceeds to couplet 83 to M. fuscovariana Schmitz, which differs in having thicker fore tarsal segments and a longer hair at the base of vein 3. Lead 2 from couplet 83 proceeds to couplet 97, where both species lack hypandrial lobes as well as a subsequently described species. M. fuscovariana, distinguished above, will also run to this couplet.</p><p>Etymology.

In the key of Lundbeck (1922) to Group V it runs to couplet 10 lead 2 or couplet 12 lead 2, but the very short costal index and pale wing membrane immediately rules out both species. In the key to the males of the British Isles (Disney, 1989) it runs to couplet 95, lead 2 to M. hiticrus (Schmitz) . The latter has darker legs, with the crowded hairs at the base of the hind femur only gradually increasing in size towards the base (Fig. 104) and the darker hypopygium has the left hypandrial lobe forked (Fig. 103). In Schmitz &amp; Delage’s (1974) key for Abteilung V it runs to couplets 27 and 36. With the first option it runs to couplets 69 and 97 where the hairs at the base of the hind femur immediately distinguish it. With the second option it runs to couplets 27 and 36. At couplet 27 the hypopygiuym and very pale wings distinguish it. As with M. thomseni (see below) at couplet 36 it runs to M. paupera (Lundbeck), which is only known in the female. The hind femur distinguishes it from M. thomseni . The costal ratios and more numerous posterodorsal hairs of the hind tibia distinguish it from M. paupera .</p><p>Etymology.

In the key of Lundbeck (1922) to Group V it runs to couplet 3, but its hypopygium differs from both species. In the key to the males of the British Isles (Disney, 1989) it runs to couplet 124, where the variation in the colour of the haltere knob means both options need to be considered. Lead 1 proceeds to couplet 127, where the very pale wing of lead 1 conflicts with the description of the left hypandrial lobe. The subsequently described M. geiri Disney runs to this couplet but its hypopygium differs, with very short hypandrial lobes in particular. Taking the second lead from couplet 124 one proceeds to couplet 143 where the pale wing fits lead 1 but the hypopygium is clearly different. M. indifferens (Lundbeck) also runs to this couplet but its hypopygium is also very different (Fig. 4 in Disney, 2011b) and its wings are tinged gray with veins 4–7 brown. In the keys of Schmitz &amp; Delage (1974) to Abteilung V it runs to couplets 5 or 6, depending on the haltere knob colour, but the hypopygia of the species clearly differ from that of M. pederseni . The very pale wings excludes numerous species.</p><p>Etymology.
