Brazil. Alagoas: 1 male (CL 11.76 mm) DZUFRJ3881 [holotype]:  rio São Francisco, 29 Jan. 1995, collector: Matos, F. J. P.; 1 female (CL 11.39 mm)   DZUFRJ3880 [paratype]:  riacho Marau —  tributary of the rio São Francisco, Brazil, 23 May 1992, collector: Ostrovski, F.; 2 males (CL 15.45 mm and 11.58 mm)   DZUFRJ3882 [paratypes]:  rio São Francisco, 21 May 1992, collector: Matos, F. J. P.; 13 males (CL 7.2–9.97 mm)   DZUFRJ2257 [paratypes]:  rio São Francisco, Xingó, 29 Jan. 1995, collector: Matos, F. J. P.; 4 males (CL 08.21– 11.20 mm)   DZUFRJ2660:  rio São Francisco, 29 Jan. 1995, collector: Matos, F. J. P.</p><p>Morphological Characterization. Rostrum almost straight, reaching the distal end of the antennular peduncle, with 13–16 regularly spaced teeth on the upper margin, 5–6 of which are located behind the orbit. A small gap is observed between the 1 st and 2 nd teeth, which are larger than the others. Lower margin bears 1–3 teeth.</p><p>Lower portion of orbit is convex and slightly pronounced. Scaphocerite is three times as long as it is wide; epistome bilobed with weakly developed carinae. Carapace smooth with no setae; hepatic spine smaller than antennal spine.</p><p>First pair of pereiopods extends to one half to one third of the carpus beyond the scaphocerite. Fingers shorter than palm; carpus twice the propodus length, with merus being two thirds the carpus length, with some variation.</p><p>Second pair of pereiopods (P2) significantly unequal in shape and size, with a high incidence of spines; larger pereiopods reached from one half of the merus to one half of the carpus beyond the scaphocerite. Fixed finger has two to five small teeth and one large tooth in the proximal portion of the cutting edge, followed by five to six smaller teeth from the finger to its distal portion. The smaller P2 has fingers forming a gap, cutting edge has two to five small teeth and one large tooth in the proximal part, and longitudinal rows of spinules on the palm and fingers, with the inner ones being larger and more widely spaced. Carpus has the same length as palm and slightly longer than merus. Along the upper margin of the chela, there is a row of teeth with the highest incidence on palm, decreasing in size toward the fingers.</p><p>Pleon smooth; pleura of the 5 th somite slightly acute. Internal appendage of second pair of pleopods longer than the male appendage. Preanal carina small and rounded, with or without apex setae.</p><p>Posterior margin of telson has a sharp median point with two pairs of posterior cuspidate setae, where the inner cuspidate setae extend beyond the posterior margin of the telson, with many long setae between them.</p><p>Sexual dimorphism. Females have a less-developed second pair of pereiopods, which are slightly unequal in shape and size, with a reduced number of teeth. Half of the carpus goes beyond the end of the scaphocerite. The distribution of teeth along the cutting edge is similar to that in males but they are less developed.</p><p>Distribution. Endemic species of the São Francisco River, between states of Alagoas and Sergipe, Brazil (Ostrovski et al. 1996).</p><p>Remarks. There are variations in the length relationship between the second pair of pereiopods and the scaphocerite, with one half of the carpus to one half of the merus extending beyond the scaphocerite, and even the distal part of the merus reaching the scaphocerite, diagnostic characters also present in  M. olfersii . Another inconsistent diagnostic character when compared to  M. olfersii is the number of teeth on the cutting edge of the fixed finger, which varies considerably. The fixed finger may have two to five small teeth and one larger tooth in the proximal portion.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BC114A5D150123FF451012FE2AFA6C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Rostrum straight with a slight downward tilt, sometimes narrow, extending beyond or not reaching the distal end of the antennular peduncle. Upper margin has 12–16 regularly spaced teeth, often 14, with the proximal tooth slightly more distant from the others. Three to six teeth are located behind the orbit, most commonly five. Lower margin contains two to four teeth.</p><p>Post-orbital margin is convex. Width of scaphocerite approximately one third of its length. Epistome divided into two lobes with rounded carinae. Carapace smooth, with the hepatic spine being smaller than the antennal spine.</p><p>First pair of pereiopods with from one half of the carpus to half of the merus overreaching the scaphocerite. Articles are smooth with a few setae.</p><p>Second pair of pereiopods unequal, with the larger one extending beyond the scaphocerite with half of the carpus to the distal part of the merus and the smaller one overreaching the scaphocerite with half of the propodus to half of the carpus. Larger cheliped of second pair of pereiopods shows variation in finger size, with a gap between fingers and rigid setae. Fixed finger has two to four small teeth in the proximal region of the cutting edge, followed by one larger distal tooth. Propodus slightly or significantly inflated. Longitudinal rows of spines and spinules welldistributed and closer together in the upper and lower parts, with a higher concentration in the median region of the propodus. Velvety pubescence present throughout the propodus, with long, rigid setae. Dorsal part of the chela has many smaller spines in the fixed finger region. Carpus varies in length and is shorter than or equal to the length of the merus. Carpus and merus robust with smaller and more widely spaced spinules ventrally. Ischium is half the length of the merus.</p><p>Pleonal region smooth. Pleura of the fifth somite rectangular. Internal appendage of the second pair of pleopods is longer than male appendage. Preanal carina small and rounded, with or without apex setae.</p><p>Telson has a posterior margin with a sharp median tip and two pairs of posterior cuspidate setae, where the inner ones extend beyond the posterior margin of the telson with long setae present between them.</p><p>Sexual dimorphism: The presence of heterochely was less pronounced in females, with the larger cheliped being less developed than that in males. Females exhibited minimal pubescence.</p><p>Distribution: Recorded occurrences in the southern United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and along the entire Atlantic coast of Brazil (Ortmann 1897; Holthuis 1952; Holthuis &amp; Provenzano 1970; Anderson &amp; Filingame 1980; Williams 1984; Barros 1995; Melo 2003).</p><p>Remarks. The presence of morphotypes in  M. olfersii was previously identified by Santos et al. (2022). Therefore, the variability observed in the second pereiopod in the present study encompasses the morphotypes described for the species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BC114A5D140124FF4512C4FE1CF82C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
