Tribe
Lyttini
According to morphological (Bologna & Pinto 2001) and a preliminar molecular study (
Bologna
et al.
2008c
),
Lyttini
appear to be a polyphyletic group. Additional molecular studies actually support the monophyly of the tribe with the inclusion of some genera referred to other tribes (Bologna
et al.
unpublished). In the present catalogue, we consider in this tribe the genera previously referred to
Lyttini
by
Bologna (1991)
and by
Bologna & Pinto (2002)
, with the addition of
Cyaneolytta
.
