Subtribe Atranopsina Baehr, 1982 View in CoL

Atranopsina Baehr, 1982: 265. Type genus: Atranopsis Baehr, 1982.

Diversity.

About 100 species in Europe (about 60 species), northern Africa (about 20 species), western Asia, including India (about 25 species), and eastern North America (one species); most species occur in the Mediterranean region.

Taxonomic Note.

Lindroth (1968: 653) listed the genus Pseudamara in the tribe Amarini (= Zabrini ) and pointed out that the sole species of the genus was "not very closely related to Amara ". Recently Hieke (2010) concluded that Pseudamara belongs to the subtribe Atranopsina , of the Sphodrini , and was probably closely related to the genus Amaroschema Jeannel, which includes a single species in the Canary Islands.
