DistributionEuropa Island

Type locality: “Insel Europa, Strasse von Mocambique”.  
Reproductionoviparous (not imputed, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesLectotype: SMF 14080 (6163, 1a in Mertens, 1922), Europa I., Mozambique Straits, collected A. Voeltzkow, 1905. Designated by Mertens (1967). 
Diagnosis 
CommentSynonymy: MAUSFELD et al (2002) did not distinguish between subspecies of comorensis, nor did they mention infralineata, so this “species” may be synonymous to M. (= Euprepis) comorensis (as suggested in the type catalogue of the SMF). M. maculilabris infralineata nests within T. maculilabris in the molecular tree of Rocha et al. 2010, so we preliminarily treat it as synonym of M. maculilabris.

Abundance: only known from the type locality (Meiri et al. 2017).
