This
species is known only from

Japan
(
Ii 1964
)
.
Remarks
Ii (1964)
established
M. megalops
on the basis of a single immature female (
6 mm
) in fragmentary condition collected from Sagami Bay, central
Japan
. This species has not been collected since then, in spite of intensive collection efforts near the
type
locality.
Murano (1977)
suggested that
M. megalops
may be a young form of
M
.
pictus
. The
type
material is missing.
