‡‡Subgeneric position of Ageniella anconis is unknown, but it is presumed that the species belongs to the subgenus Ameragenia , based on its original description by Banks (1925: 330). §§As Machaerothrix tsushimensis represents an intermediate stage between solitary and communal, here the stage is reffered to as ‘pre-communal’.
