Taxon Notes: | The classification of species within this genus has been variable for some time, but recent genetic studies have started to stabilise this. Here we follow Puillandre et al, 2015 for the current classification of this genus, which currently includes a number of subgenera - many of these have been treated as full genera by other authors. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available. | ||
