No doubt a large number of species belonging to this genus remain 

 to be discovered, especially among the very small forms, as they run 

 close together and are difiicult to obtain in good condition. I have 

 left several species in the United States National Museum collection 

 unnamed as they are too rubbed to describe, though evidently 

 representing distinct species. Some males assume a most distorted 

 position when at rest.
