- The study focused on the taxonomy of specific species using both morphological and molecular data, leading to the identification of 19 confirmed species across Europe, Asia, and North America.
- Six new species and one new variety were described, and a variety was elevated to a species level.
- The research also involved the reassessment of previous classifications, leading to the resurrection of certain names and the synonymization of others, while enhancing the understanding of morphology and distribution of the species.
