Additional material examined

Distribution
(Fig. 12). Colombia (1). Meta (Neita-Moreno 2014[1]). Brazil (2). Roraima, Amazonas.
Remarks
This species was described based on a single male specimen from Colombia (Neita-Moreno 2014[1]). Herein, two additional specimens of M. fernandezi from Roraima and Amazonas states are recorded for the first time from Brazil (new country record). Further comparison to the holotype male showed that the paramera of Brazilian specimens are slightly narrower at middle, but they do not differ in the lateral articular areas of the tectum. The male endophallus (Fig. 4E–H) of the two Brazilian specimens were inflated and showed no conspicuous intraspecific differences. Female specimens of this species have not been described.
