Remarks
Melvill, 1888b: 282:
“...I have two specimens, and have seen many others.”
Melvill, 1888b: 288:
“NOTE.- The types of the foregoing species are in my collection, and with the exception of M. percnodictya and rhodinosphaera, of each of which only two specimens are known, and M. aerumnosa and fulvosulcata, of which there are several, are all represented as yet by single unique specimens”.
