Tribe? Scudderiini Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1878 View in CoL

Remarks. In this tribe, several more or less related genera were included ( Cadena-Castañeda 2015a). These genera are mainly characterized by a few primitive characters: head rostrum is rather narrow and divided into two simple and small tubercles (more or less as in Anaulacomerina ); tegmina are rather narrow and with normal structure of the both RS vein and area between branches of MP+CuA1, as well as with the proxilateral corner of male mirror not very narrowed (Figs 122, 123); tympana are completely opened, oval; styles of male genital plate are articulated with this plate but not fused with it. However, these styles are absent in the genus Scudderia Stål, 1873 ( type genus of this tribe). Thus, the Scudderiini sensu Cadena-Castañeda is here used only as a problematic tribe which is in need of clarification of its composition and systematic position.
