The head is evenly rounded and the ridges on the sides of the face meet in front of the eyes.

The type species, Muiralevu africanus (originally described as Levu africana Muir, 1926) has a distribution range from Sierra Leone, over the Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Cameroon to the Central African Republic.

Other African species of Muiralevu have similar distribution records, but have been also described as far south as Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

[4][5][2] In south-eastern Asia, two species have been described from Taiwan and assigned to the genus Formolevu, a synonym of Muiralevu.

This means in Muiralevu 7 veins of the cubitus-media complex reach the margin at the end of the wing (see the image in the taxobox on the top right) like in most other genera of Rhotanini, with the exception of species of Saccharodite and Sumangala.

On average, the forewings in Muiralevu are more elongated than in Saccharodite and in most other species of Rhotanini, usually more than 2 times longer than wide.

In addition, most species of Muiralevu show an unusual venation on the hind wings with a branched tip of the radius.

[2][8] Other features of the genus Muiralevu include an evenly rounded profile of the head with the ridges on the side of the face meeting in front of the eyes.

It is assumed that the nymphal stages live in decaying organic matter like other derbids, feeding on fungi.
