Description (from Mulvey, 1961)
     Wide buccal cavity with thick walls and a small dorsal tooth with two smaller submedian teeth.  The anterior refractive ring about the buccal cavity is very prominent.  The rather long tail (c = 21.3) is conoid  arcuate and contains several glands which empty through a terminal spinneret.  The prominent anterior refractive ring, the small dorsal tooth, and the relative size of the buccal cavity distinguish M. montanus from M. minor.
Habitat.  Fresh water.
