Remarks
The present genus is very distinct from
Andaniotes
, with which
Barnard (1969)
synonymized it (for details, see
Remarks
under
M. islandica
). However, its phylogenetical relationships with the other genera in the
Stegocephalidae
will not be further discussed herein, as a cladistic analysis of the entire family will be published separately (Berge and Vader, in press).
