It differs also from all congeners, except for M. dimorpha, by having the anterior portion of compound supraneural plus first dorsal-fin proximal radial contacting the neural spine of the seventh vertebra (vs. eighth or ninth vertebra in M. perforatus, ninth vertebra in M. arachas, and 10th or 11th vertebra in M. longicolla). It can be diagnosed from M. perforatus and M. dimorpha by having pointed odontodes at the anterior portion of rostral plates (vs. rounded leaf-shaped odontodes); from M. longicolla and M. perforatus by having the mid-dorsal lateral series of plates surpassing the vertical through dorsal-fin length (vs. mid-dorsal lateral series reduced, reaching the vertical through dorsal-fin base, and never surpassing the dorsal-fin length); and from M. perforatus by having the median series of lateral plates complete, reaching the end of the caudal peduncle (vs. median series of lateral plates terminating two plates before the end of the caudal peduncle) and by the presence of an iris operculum (vs. absence) (Ref. 97523).
