MOROCCO – Larache • 1 ♀ (10.7×14.8), 1 ♂ (12.9 ×17.9); 1955; MNCN20.04/20973 .

Remarks

The specimens were mixed with Phyllodorippe armata (MNCN20.04/10285) under the identification of Majidae . This record confirms the presence of M. rostrata in Moroccan waters, previously cited by García-Isarch & Muñoz (2015). The bigger specimen was totally covered with many barnacles.
