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 of 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.
