Tribe Eurepini Robillard, 2004 (in Robillard and Desutter-Grandcolas 2004a)

Type genus: Eurepa Walker

Included genera

Arilpa Otte and Alexander (type species: Arilpa wirrilla Otte and Alexander ) Eurepa Walker (type species: Eurepa marginipennis (White)) Eurepella Otte and Alexander (type species: Eurepella quarriana Otte and Alexander ) Myara Otte and Alexander (type species: Myara unicolor (Chopard)) Salmanites Chopard (type species: Salmanites obscurifrons Chopard ) Synonym name: Napieria Baehr , syn. n.

Napieria ’s most characteristic feature is the lack of forewings in both males and females, the female being also polymorphic for ovipositor length ( Baehr, 1989). Close examination of the type material (Zoologische Staatssammlung München, TR pers. obs.) shows that 13 on 16 specimens of the type series are in fact juveniles, including the male holotype and the only male paratype. According to the coloration of the two adult female paratypes, described by Baehr (1989) as the long ovipositor form, the species Salmanites muta (Baehr) would be a valid species close to S. taltantris Otte and Alexander.
