Subgenus Maronetus Casey, 1914

Maronetus Casey, 1914: 30. Type species: Maronetus tenuis Casey, 1914 by original designation. Etymology. Anagram of the generic name Nomaretus [q.v.] [masculine].

Diversity.

This subgenus includes ten species-group taxa found along the Appalachians. Several undescribed taxa are known (Thomas C. Barr, Jr. pers. comm. 2009).

Identification.

There is no recent systematic treatment of the species of Maronetus and such work is much needed. A key to the species of the debilis group has been published (Barr 2009).
