It was described by José Antonio Gámez Vintaned, Eladio Liñán and Andrey Yu. Zhuravlev in 2011, and the type species is M. apae.[1]
The holotype specimen of M. apae was reinterpreted as a partial isolated appendage of a member of the radiodontan genus Caryosyntrips by Pates & Daley (2017);[2][3] this reinterpretation was criticized by Gámez Vintaned & Zhuravlev (2018).[4]
