Subtribe
Taphurina
Distant, 1905b
With the reassignment of the genera previously assigned to the
Tryellina
Moulds, 2005
into the Lamotialnini
Boulard, 1976
(
Marshall
et al.
2018
), the
Taphurina
and the
Anopercalnina
Boulard, 2008
remain as subtribes in the
Taphurini
. The Anopercalnina contains a single genus inhabiting Madagascar whose males lack opercula (
Boulard 2008
). The
Taphurini
has historically been a repository for small species with uncertain classification with the point being well illustrated by the fact that genera previously assigned to the
Taphurini
were recently distributed to seven tribes in four subfamilies (
Marshall
et al.
2018
). Eight of the nine Neotropical genera currently within the
Taphurina
are monospecific with only
Taphura
containing multiple species.
