[Taxacom] 2nd attempt to post something

[Stephen Thorpe]

How about "known only from males" or "known only from females", as the case may be? 4 words!

 Last week I attempted to post the following,
 but for some reason it never
 went through. I'd like to try again:
 
 Is there a term or short phrase to
 describe the taxonomic situation where a
 species (that presumably has both
 females and males) is known only from a
 single sex? The best I can come up with
 is: "a species known only from a
 single sex", which, at 8 words, seems
 too long and cumbersome. Is there
 anything shorter available?
 
 Thanks,
