Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae elongate, apices slightly rounded, dorsal setae scattered over surface except large bare area in mediolateral area of abdomen; microtubular ducts with single sclerotized area (Miller & González, 1975). The adult females of M. chilensis are very similar to those of M. navarinoensis and M. rhadinothrix, each having 1, two sizes of quinquelocular pores on the venter; 2, macrotubular ducts on the ventromedial surface of the abdomen that are smaller than those on the dorsum, and 3, dorsoapical anal lobe setae that are closer to or as close to the dorsomedial setae as to the caudal setae. The adult females of M. chilensis can be separated from the other two species by the presence of dorsomedial abdominal setae that are approximately the same as the largest marginal setae, however there can be some variation in the lengths of the dorsal setae even among specimens from one locality. (Hardy, et al. 2008)
Structure: Females are enclosed in a dirty white ovisac. Normally there is only 1 female per leaf (Miller & González, 1975).
Biology: Female ovisac is attached to the undersides of leaves (Miller & González, 1975).
