Remarks

Tomlin & Shackleford, 1913 do not indicate a unique type on p.11 but on p. 43 of the same volume they explicitly refer to the type being in his collection: “Type of M. liparozona in coll. Tomlin, as are also those of M. eveleighi T & S (pl. i., f. 5, 6), and M. melvilli T. & S. (pl. i., 1, 2).”
