The new forms, which are very closely related, occur on opposite sides of the Central American isthmus, where they presumably differentiated following the last (Pliocene) emergence of that landmass.

The Caribbean form (M. carri) comprises two distinct morphological types, which are interpreted as pre- and postjuvenile stages. |
