Taxonomic list
• "The large number of endemic species is regarded as misleading and may be merely related to a 'splitter' taxonomic approach. This may apply to...the four species of Arthropitys from the Katharina" (Galtier 1997). These four species are A. felixi, A. herbacea, A. hirmeri and A. jongmansii.
