These species have very high relatedness among individuals due to their partially asexual mode of reproduction (sterile soldier castes being clones of the reproducing female), but the gall-inhabiting behavior gives these species a defensible resource that sets them apart from related species with similar genetics.

Estas especies presentan un alto parentesco entre os individuos debido ao seu modo de reprodución parcialmente asexual (as castas de soldados estériles son clons das femias reprodutoras), pero o comportamento de habitar en bugallas dálles a estas especies un recurso defensivo que as separa doutras especies relacionadas cunha xenética similar.
