All 13 species are illustrated. They can be separated from each other by size, body shape, dorsal coloration, punctation of dorsal surface, but predominantly by the form of the male and female antennomeres and the form of male genitalia. A modified key is presented, and the habitats of most species are illustrated in detail.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/alpento.9.147831","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,5]],"date-time":"2025-06-05T13:02:19Z","timestamp":1749128539000},"page":"5-28","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A
