Comment(s) on data
In Goy & Martin (2013, Zootaxa) - The degree of morphological variation seen in Microprosthema semilaeve and compared to the degree of variation reported for M. manningi Goy & Felder, 1988 leads us to conclude that M. jareckii Martin, 2002 needs to be considered a junior synonym of M. manningi.
