Rem.: Krsinic (2017, p.945): this species was found in the anchialine cave on the island of Mljet, located near the deepest part of the central Adriatic Sea (maximum depth: 1250 m). The salinity varied between 1.5 at the surface and 39 psu at the bottom, temperature ranged between 14.2 and 16.6 °C; Oxygen concentration was at its lowest at 4 m depth (0.14 µg/l, while significantly higher values were found near the bottom during January (2009). The highest population density was found in the deeper parts of the cave, where there were significantly higher values of oxygen and salinity.The new species is similar to S. balearicus and S. canariensis; differences from S. campaneri and S. scottodicarloi are most obvious. According to Jaume & Boxshall (1996), body segmentation and armature of all appendages are virtually indentical in S. balearicus and S. canariensis, except the armature of the genital operculum and P5. The genital operculum of S. mljetensis is armed with a slender naked seta, a shorter stout spine and a small denticle. In S. balearicus, it is armed with 2 setae, while in S. canariensis, it carries a long plumose seta, a short stout spine and a tiny denticle. The tip of the outer spine on the 1st exopodal segment of P5 in the females does not reach the tip of the proximal spine on the 2nd segment in S. mljetensis and in S. canariensis, while in S. balearicus, this outer spine is the same length as the 2nd segment and reaches the tip of the proximal spine on the 2nd segment. The terminal spine on the 2nd exopodal segment is only as long as that segment in S. mljetensis; however, the distal seta is much shorter than in S. balearicus and is not pinnate. The P5 males also differs between S. canariensis, S. balearicus and S. Mljetensis.
