Taxonomy
The species in this genus have very prominent sexual dimorphism, making it impossible to match both sexes together without rearing or molecular analysis. Many species have been described based on male specimens, while other descriptions are based on females. Since only two pairs are reliable known, many names still considered valid will turn out to be synonyms in the future.[2]
