The species is distinguished from M. nepalensis PUTHZ, 2012 and M. hirashimai NAOMI, 1986 by shorter lateral striae of tergite V and by the inner structure of aedeagus. It is separated from the very similar M. brancuccii PUTHZ, 2021 by presence of a planar area of punctures in anterior half of pronotum; scutellum with irregular punctures, in contrast to two longitudinal impressions in M. brancuccii; dark posterior sutural third of elytra; denser punctate tergite X; distinctly broader median lobe and thicker, more compact internal sclerites of aedeagus (compare Figs 5 and 6).</p><p>D i s t r i b u t i o n: Sofar, M. seideli nov.sp. is only known from the Phia Oac National Park in northern Vietnam.</p><p>Habitat and collecting method: The only known specimen of M. seideli nov.sp. was captured by fogging a decaying tree in a secondary forest of the Phia Oac National Park at 1,270 m (Fig. 8).</p><p>E t y m o l o g y: With the choice of the species epithet " seideli ” (derived from the German surname Seidel, noun), I dedicate this new species to its collector and my friend Dr. Matthias Seidel (Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Vienna, Austria), who kindly supports me in my taxonomic work since years with interesting material.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AB3410FFB97110FF57FD7DFC5DCE95	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The species is distinguished from M. malayanus PUTHZ, 2012 and M. zwicki PUTHZ, 2012 by the unicolorous elytra, presence of a sutural row on each elytron and by the inner structure of the aedeagus. It is separated from M. ingeae MAINDA, 2022 by less distinctly bicolored metafemora; unicolorous elytra; antennomere XI only 3 times instead of 5 times as long and the same length instead of 1.4 times as broad as antennomere X and by a thinner median lobe and slightly different internal structure of aedeagus.
