He has also published numerous \u00ab\u00a0papers,\u00a0\u00bb reports, and accounts that are essential. It is also necessary to search through old or recent documents to find descriptions, unearth diagrams of anal appendages, venation, or more simply thoracic or abdominal patterns. Finally, a few books are useful for obtaining details and clarifications; they are cited below.<br>Unnamed species are known, some are in the process of being described, others awaiting naming, and finally, many others remain to be discovered in Sarawak and, more broadly, in Borneo (an island half the size of France), in areas that are difficult to access or still unexplored.<br>In 2021, at the
