Cythereinae Becker View in CoL View at ENA

Type genus: Cytherea Fabricius, 1794 .

The Cylleniinae (the present tribes Cylleniini and Enicini) was long a repository for genera with a deeply concave occiput but without an indented posterior eye margin. Hall (1969) removed several genera which are now placed in the Ecliminae . Yeates (1994) demonstrated that it remained polyphyletic and transferred Peringueyimyia View in CoL to the Lomatiinae View in CoL . He also united the remaining African genera of Cylleniinae with the Cythereinae View in CoL , but remarked that a re-examination of the tribal divisions would be in order.
