 Four more "Laufeia" species were known to Andrzej Bohdanowicz and Jerzy Prószyński in 1987; they doubted that three of them belonged in the genus.In 2012, Prószyński and Christa Deeleman-Reinhold split off some "Laufeia" species into the genera "Orcevia" and "Junxattus", noting the diversity of genital structures.A molecular and morphological study in 2015 showed that the original circumscription of "Laufeia" constituted a strongly supported clade, and Junxia Zhang and Wayne Maddison restored all the species to "Laufeia", arguing that strong sexual selection could produce genital diversity even in closely related species.
