Remarks

The specimen shown in Fig. 26C View Fig was identified by Moacyr Alvarenga and fits well the original description of Lacordaire (1842). Probably, M. aestuans may be a synonym of M. hilaris ( Fig. 31B View Fig , see below). However, we have not examined the type of M. aestuans and it seems be a poorly represented species in collections (few specimens for comparison), we prefer not to synonymize them here.
