[= M. calabrus Stierlin, 1892 , syn. nov.] (Colonnelli, hoc opus). Due to the wide range of variation of this species, it is impossible to find a single feature separating the Greek examples from the specimens collected in the south of Italian peninsula. Recollection of long series of M. siculus Osella & Di Marco, 1996 may also most probably prove that this is another synonym of M. rhinomacer .
