I've never compared the genitalia of my specimens from Laos and Vietnam, so I don't know if this is a dark form of M. atricornis. Have you compared Andreas?
Many pictures on the forum, as here. |

| You're probably right Andreas, there's a problem with this species. I had posted photos of specimens from Laos here, but made no progress. As soon as I have time, I'll separate males and females, and compare them with my specimens from Vietnam. |

Yes, its a bit strange sps, I tried to find a name but without success,
I have 3m/5f from Tam Dao (N-Vietnam), with quite a variable tomentation, the antennae in females are not so much fringed below like in atricornis, I looking foreward what's about the male genitals Laos vs Vietnam. |
