Geographic distribution. Indo-west Pacific. Indonesia ( Yonow 2001), Red Sea, Réunion Island (2008) and Mozambique .

Remarks. The identification of this species was based on the external similarity and geographic proximity with the species described by Yonow (2001). However, WoRMS lists M. katalexis as an unreviewed entry. It is not clear if M. katalexis is is a valid species, a junior synonym of M. multituberculata ( Baba, 1953) ( Rudman 2006; WoRMS 2010) or M. mariei ( Crosse, 1872) .
