It has unfortunately, but quite naturally, happened that many of the older genera have poorly described and little known species as types. This is the case with Acuaria, type A. anthuris, and this is one reason for the complicated relationships of Acuaria, Spiroptera, Anthuris, and Dispkaragus; a well described and commonly known type species aids in the definition of a genus and in the efforts to.
