Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae cylindrical, apices slightly rounded, marginal setae distinctly larger than other dorsal setae, 3-5 lateral setae on margin of each abdominal segment; ventral multilocular pores uncommon, restricted to vulvar and spiracular areas; suranal seta spatulate (Hoy, 1963). The adult females of M. latilobatus most closely resemble those of M. rotundus. Hoy (1962a) separated them by counting enlarged dorsal setae: 10–20 on the head and thorax of M. latilobatus as opposed to four or fewer located on the thorax of M. rotundus. He acknowledges the plasticity of the feature in M. rotundus; in many specimens the enlarged setae are completely absent. Setal number may be variable within some species, Perhaps M. latilobatus and M. rotundus are the same species. (Hardy, et al., 2008)
Structure: Female sac is felted and tawny in color (Hoy, 1962).
Biology: Females occur on the underside of host leaves (Hoy, 1962).
