Remarks

Nieser et al. (2005) established the subgenus Unguinecta, and placed five species in it: M. polhemusi Nieser, 2000, M. khasiensis Hutchinson, 1940, M. matsumurai Miyamoto, 1965, M. melanochroa Nieser, Chen & Yang, 2005, and M. waltoniana Hutchinson, 1940 . Among these, M. khasiensis and M. waltoniana were transferred from the subgenus Mesonecta .
