Species are usually green in appearance, sometimes with a blue tint, but some species have fully- and partially-pink forms.

Distribution

This genus is found mostly throughout North and South America. It's very diverse throughout the United States, despite some species being morphologically identical. The genus has potentially been introduced to Europe and has been recorded in Borneo. [3]

Subgenera and Species

There are four subgenera of Gyponana. All but one are monospecific. [4] Rugosana was once considered a subgenus of Gyponana, but was elevated to the status of genus after DNA barcode testing provided greater insight into its lineage. [5]

Subgenus Clovana

A single species found in the southwestern United States of America.

Subgenus Gyponana

By far the largest subgenus, containing the majority of the species in the genus.

Subgenus Pandara

A single species.
