adults appear to be active for a very short time period. Their activity is generally more intense between November and March at lower altitudes (with summer diapause) and between September and November at higher altitudes (with winter diapause). We believe that the species of this new genus are relicts which have survived from the Tertiary period. This is suggested by the winter phenology, the low number of amphigonic species and their widespread distribution. In
