            <p>Type material. HOLOTYPE, ♂ labeled: China: Tibet, Nyingchi, Sejila mountain pass West (N29°57'09.33", E94°48'74.69"), 3573 m, collected by Malaise trap in grass, 2012. VIII.18–25, Baohai Wang and Zhaohui Pan (CAU). PARATYPES: 6 ♂, same data as holotype (CAU).</p>
            <p>Distribution. Oriental: China (Tibet).</p>
            <p> Remarks. The new species is very similar to  M. stomias Bickel from Nepal, but may be separated from the latter by the colour and size of proboscis; the apical bristle of epandrium, as well as the shape of the surstylus and cercus. In  M. stomias , the proboscis is dark brown with dark radial stripes, enlarged; the epandrium has no apical bristle, the surstylus is fused almost to the apex, with shallow apical cleft; the cercus is curved and narrowed distally (Bickel 1987, fig 17e-g). </p>
            <p>Etymology. The specific name refers to the radial brown stripes on the proboscis and the stripe on the surstylus.</p>
