discussion
As pointed out above, Brady’s (1910) description of M. gracilis is rudimentary, his illustrations are far from precise and the armature formula of P 2 – P 5 is misleading. The species is consequently omitted from the key and the reader is advised to consult the original description. The same applies to M. littoralis which is only known from the female and for which no information on swimming leg armature exists.
