Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae elongate, slender, sides concave, apices slightly rounded, setae scattered over dorsum except absent in medial and mediolateral areas of posterior abdominal segments; claw digitals swollen; microtubular ducts medium in length with 1 sclerotized area (Miller & Gonález, 1975). Adult females of M. rhadinothrix are very similar to those of the Chilean species M. chilensis and M. navarinoensis. (Hardy, et al., 2008)
Structure: The adult females have creamy orange tests and the specimens from Chile had eggs under their tests; tests mostly occurred on the underside of leaves but occasionally in twig axils. (Hardy, et al., 2008)
