SUPERTRIB. NOV.
Podoscirtites
Saussure, 1878: 693
. Saussure, 1893: 257.
Type
genus:

Serville, 1838
.
Distribution:

, apex of ovipositor: a, dorsal view, b, ventral view. Scales: 1mm. Abbreviations: see Material and methods.
Diagnosis:
FWs and HWs well developed, frequently covering the entire abdomen, generally with stridulatory apparatus developed (
Fig. 10A
), sometimes with FWs bearing only longitudinal veins (
Fig. 10B
). When stridulatory apparatus developed, stridulatory vein (PCu) curved, forming a 90° angle, proximal branch parallel to CuPa (
Fig. 10C
); CuPa higher than CuPb in lateral view.
TI
inner tympanum, when present, generally profound. Male genitalia: MedLophi of pseudepiphallic sclerite when present, short; MedLophi dorsal to LLophi (

Remarks:
The clade corresponding in our phylogeny to the
Podoscirtidi
is clearly undersampled. Future phylogenetic studies on this supertribe, including more taxa, will be necessary to organize and verify more tribes as proposed herein. Besides,
ProzƲenella bangaloriensis
appears isolated in the
ML
(Supporting Information,
Fig. S13
) and
MP
(Supporting Information,
Fig. S14
) trees. In BI this taxon resolves inside Podoscirtini (
Fig. 3
). Thus, we decided to maintain this genus as classified in
Cigliano
et al.
(2022)
. For these reasons, we avoid designing subtribes, as the relations between, and definitions of, present-day genus groups are still unclear.
