In hind wing, only 1r-m and distal half of 1-M are dark brown, rest of veins are pale.

The most important character separating the new species, M. arabicus, from the Algerian species M. proprius Belokobylskij is the presence of vein r-m of fore wing (Fig. 14A) (absent in M. proprius). Other characters can be summarized as follows: vertex transversely strigated without dense granulations between the striae (Fig. 12D) (in M. proprius dense granulations between striae could be seen); malar space relatively short, 0.6× basal width of mandible (Fig. 13A) (longer in M. proprius, 0.9× basal width of mandible); mesosoma 2.4× as long as high (Fig. 13A) (twice as long as high in M. proprius); propodeum with curved striations especially laterally (Fig. 13B) (densely striated in M. proprius); metasomal T1 and T2 densely rugulose-striated (Fig. 14E) (densely striated longitudinally in M. proprius); T4–6 finely sculptured at base (Fig. 14E) (in M. proprius the larger part of T3 with fine granulation, T4–6 with very weak granulation at base); body color dark reddish brown, including the legs except for bases of tibiae and all tarsi pale yellowish (Fig. 12A, B) (in M. proprius, body pale reddish brown, yellow in places, with the legs same as body with all tibiae yellowish at bases and apices); hind wing vein M+CU 1.2× 1-M (1.4× in M. proprius).

The absence or presence of vein r-m of the fore wing has been found to be a polymorphic character for four genera: Afrospathius Belokobylskij & Quicke, Leluthia Cameron, Pareucorystes Tobias, and Platydoryctes Barbalho & Pentiado-Dias. However, this character has not yet been recorded in Mimodoryctes Belokobylskij (see Belokobylskij (2001)), and this was later confirmed in Belokobylskij et al. (2004) in their phylogenetic study of the doryctine genera based solely on morphological evidence. However, in the absence of other reliable diagnostic characters, the situation is considered in the present study to be the same as in the above-mentioned four genera.
