periodic trends - Comparing radii in lithium, beryllium, magnesium, aluminium and sodium ions


Apparently the of last four, MgX2+ is closest in radius to LiX+. Is this true, and if so, why would a whole larger shell (MgX2+) be closer in radius to LiX+ than its isoelectronic neighbor (BeX2+) with just one extra proton?
