The species is allied to M. longa.For Szabo & Gardner (1986 (p.1560) M. okhotensis males are smaller (ca. 2.8 mm vs. 3.6 for M. longa) and the A1 is no longer than the prosome, whereas in M. longa the A1 reaches the urosome. Both species have 3 free thoracic segments, but in M. longa an incomplete fusion line on the cephalothorax demarcates a fused 4th segment. The terminal segment of the left P5 is much more slender in M. longa than in M. okhotensis.
