Dropping the letter 'e' leads to these additional references: LINK

I found two figures (13, 13a) in this paper: LINK

 

Carter, J. (1886)

On the decapod crustaceans of the Oxford Clay.

Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, London 42:542–559.

 

possible clues from this paper:

 

 

M'Coy, F. (1849)

On the classification of some British Fossil Crustacea, with

notices of new forms in the University Collection at Cambridge.

Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society 4(2):161-179

One more recent paper I found and sent for you:

Pagani, M. A., Damborenea, S. E., Manceñido, M. O., & Ferrrari, S. M. (2011)

New early Jurassic decapod crustacean from Patagonia (Chubut province), Argentina.

Paläontologische Zeitschrift, 85(2):143-154

It has a reference to M. pearcei as a similar species to M. robbianoi.

The paper also includes author contact info that might assist further.
