Dear Michael,
Your picture is very interesting. I have looked at specimens from eastern Australia and New Caledonia which are identical to the animal with the orange-spotted border, but I have never seen the form with the wine-red spots which is clearly conspecific. I have had difficulty making sense of the complex in the southwest Pacific but your find may be very useful. One possibility is that this "species" may in fact be a distinct species mimicking M. multituberculata in the north and M. mariei in the south.
Bill Rudman.
