Remarks
In "counts" above, read "taxa" (= species concepts) for "species".
Most of the 41 taxa were coined by Thomas Casey. When a revision was undertaken,
the number is likely to shrink considerably.*

(*: The author is famous for his production of synonyms, in times when even genitalia inspection
was not yet state of the art. Combined with a typological approach to biodiversity, in difficult
groups that must fail. Example: in the Carabid genus Amara, Casey did propose 197 "species",
of which only 17 survived the revisionary process.)
