ABOUT

Descriptions(1)

Preliminary remarks: This genus badly needs revising. Particular colony forms seem to be quite characteristic for a number of species, but there is a lot of similarity between the sclerites of the nominal taxa and in order to accurately discriminate between the species, the sclerites and their location require very detailed analysis, which is seriously lacking throughout virtually all of the literature.
