Type data:

Paratype(s) MZ 100108240302 6 specimens (Paratypes from same locality as the holotype).

Introduction

The taxonomic position of M. maryae is unconfirmed: " Ravara et al. (2010b), redescribed M. stammeri from specimens collected from the type locality (Adriatic Sea) as the holotype has been lost (Banse 1959). They also synonymised M. maryae San Martin, 1982, with M. stammeri, and assigned Rainer & Kaly’s (1988) Australian specimens identified as M. maryae to M. stammeri, with doubts, due to Rainer & Kaly’s description of the Australian specimens having 14 longitudinal rows of subdistal pharyngeal papillae, instead of 20–22 rows which M. stammeri possesses." (Murray et al., 2015)
