Introduction
Maeda (1982) included specimens from South Australia in his description of M. macrodens, a species he stated was larger than M. oceanensis, however Koopman (1984) suggested these were actually large individuals of M. oceanensis based on an extensive series of eastern Australian specimens, particularly those from western VIC. Given the highly disjunct nature of the SA specimens in the distribution of M. macrodens (SE Asia) we refer records of M. macrodens from Australia to this taxon.
