He illustrated their major differences in caudal rami shape and ornamentation, shape of the genital double-somite and its seminal receptacle, and proportions of the third endopodal segment of the fourth leg and its apical spines. Since then these particular characters have normally been illustrated for new, presumably closely related taxa, while other features have not been studied in detail. Thus, most comparisons between different taxa in this species-group have to be inferred today from these three characters, especially the shape and armature of the caudal rami.
