There is also a genus of Laniatores called Pseudomarthana because of the superficial similarity with Marthana.

Notes[]

  1. M. columnaris - In addition to this species, Hallan lists a species M. columnaris Roewer, 1955:95. However, the species in this reference is Thorell's species, so this additional species is non-existent.[6]
  2. This species was listed in Hallan under the name Marthana turrita (Roewer, 1910) [originally in the genus Marthanella], and noted as a junior homonym of Thorell's species. However, Crawford had already provided the replacement name of Marthana pagonota[8].
