Introduction

Synonymy of M. nana with M. inquietea adopted here, following Christidis and Boles (2008: 200). This changes the concept of M. inquieta, thus necessitating allocation of a new CAVS number.

Introduction

Treatment of this species as valid is uncertain and we tentatively remove M. nana from synonymy with M. inquieta (Latham, 1801) following Schodde & Mason (1999) and other recent authors (e.g. del Hoyo & Collar, 2016), but see also Christidis & Boles (2008).
