Subfamily Cyclasteropinae Poulsen 1965 View in CoL
Composition
This subfamily contains three fossil genera: 1, Eocypridina Kesling & Ploch 1960 ( Kornicker & Sohn 2000:28, Wilkinson et al. 2004:191) with species in the Paleozoic; 2, Juraleberis Vannier & Siveter 1995, with a single species in the Upper Jurassic, and 3, the Late Cretaceous Mesoleberis , new genus, with the type species only. The subfamily also comprises six extant genera: Cyclasterope Brady 1897 , Cycloleberis Skogsberg 1920 , Leuroleberis Kornicker 1981 , Alphaleberis Kornicker 1981 , Tetraleberis Kornicker 1981 , and Amboleberis Kornicker 1981 , each genus containing several species. Extant genera are placed in three tribes: Cyclasteropini Poulsen 1965, Cycloleberidini Hartmann 1974, and Tetraleberidini Kornicker 1981. The tribes are defined by differences in the appendages.
