Tribe Eccritotarsini ( Fig. 6)

Diagnosis. Fleshy pulvilli attached to the inner surface of the claw; asymmetrical parempodia; tarsi dilated to apex, and single closed membranal cell ( Ferreira et al. 2015).

Remarks. Alvarez-Zapata et al. (2022) published a synopsis of Colombian Eccritotarsini , including taxonomic keys, diagnoses, hosts and associated plants, and geographic distribution. Eccritotarsini are primarily phytophagous, with 650 species described in 112 genera around the world (Alvarez-Zapata et al. 2022). They are mostly found in the Neotropics. Eccritotarsini research in Brazil yielded 35 genera and 161 species ( Ferreira et al. 2023).

The following key is based on Ferreira & Henry (2011), with asterisks indicating genera found in Espírito Santo.
