Taxonomy notes
split from M. siligorensis and has been considered to include M. badius, although more recent studies have revalidated M. badius as a separate species from M. alticraniatus, M. sowerbyi, and the recently described M. kalkaoe (although with very low genetic differentiation); further research is needed to determine the taxonomic status of M. alticraniatus and it's relatives
