(misidentification)
Note: M. pygmaeus and M. melanotoma are
extremely similar species and their status as
separate species has been debated.
Martinez-Cascales et al. (2006) have
presented data to support the status as bonae
species of both taxa. Nevertheless, reliable
identification using morphological characters
is almost impossible; this has led to a number
of misidentifications.
