Composition and distribution.
Including the herein presented taxonomic acts, the genus consists of three subgenera with 49 species altogether. The genus is widely distributed in South and South
East Asia
.
Notes.
The complete literature regarding this genus is not listed as it is extensive; only the examined material is listed. The genus consists of many species, most of which were described in the last two decades without making the
types
available on the OSF website (
Cigliano
et al.
2022
). At the very least, the genus should be reviewed to elucidate the relationship between its species. Historically (
Günther 1939
), the genus has been populated by species belonging to other genera. This could still be a problem, which should be resolved by a detailed examination of the species, especially those described recently.
