    Paropsis has 72 species in Australia and two more in New Guinea. There are two more likely to be added.
    I own good images of more than half of these species so Paropsis will continue to develop.
    My personal interest is Paropsisterna which is more complex and is largely not confidently determined to species level yet.     Posted 9 years ago
