. Most species have been described based only on females, which is problematic given that a single species can show sex differences enough to possibly mislead taxonomists to erect new taxa. The discovery of more species with such sexually dimorphic features shall help to solve this puzzle, and a complete cladistic analysis of stigmaeid genera using molecular, morphological and ontogenetic characters should provide a clearer picture of the evolution of this family. Descriptions of immatures should also throw more light on this matter.
