Males live shorter than females and usually die shortly after mating a number of times. Proposed phylogenetic tree for Enchenopa [3] The complex has multiple species under the same name followed by the genus of its host plant (i.e. Enchenopa binotata 'Ptelea' for species that live in Ptelea trifoliata).
