Isn't this the same Microdes unnamed sp (no 4 in MoV) for which CNM already has several records? Microdes asystata has few specimens and they look quite different (BOLD).

Yes, on a second look I think you are correct, especially the last image MoV shows on page 2/2 of the file for Microdes sp.(4) on th supprting disc for MoV Part 3. I think means we have identified at least two unnamed Microdes spp. i.e Microdes sp.(1) amd Microdes sp.(4) after MoV.
