Tribe
Eginiini
Stein, 1907
[Syllegopterini Brauer & Bergenstamm 1889]
Adult morphology and larval biology leave no doubt that this small tribe is monophyletic (
Michelsen 2007
). Species from two out of four recognized genera (
Table 1
) were examined.
•
Eginia
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
,
Xenotachina
Malloch, 1921
The two examined species,
Eginia ocypterata
(Meigen, 1826)
and
Xenotachina pallida
Malloch, 1921
, have vein C extensively setulose dorsally (state
A8
). The same state expectedly applies to all eginiine genera and species.
