REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 89) described Macquartia occlusa from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens and not giving a range of lengths: “ Sp. occlusae mares tantum … legi, et unum exemplar sexus ejusdem … misit D. Schembri [I collected only the males of occlusae Sp. , … and D. Schembri sent one specimen of the same sex]”. We found four syntypes in this study.
