 Comments
       
  Comment: Sperber (1948, p. 158-) attempted to provide clarity and organization of the confusing history of this genus throughout the literature, and in particular, the divisions of described and rediscribed taxa in this genus, and their assignments to the subgenera Dero (Dero), Dero (Allodero), and Dero (Aulophorus)
