Although Kaltenbach (1968) mentions the tribe Phisiini, he makes no attempt to differentiate the tribe or state it as new, and as such it may be considered a nomen nudum (ICZN Article 13.1). Jin (1987) correctly emended the original stem Phisi- to Phisid- (note that although Phis- is a possible correct stem, Kaltenbach’s Phisi- is not), gives a diagnosis, and refers to the author as Kaltenbach, 1968. In keeping with recent usage, I consider Jin (1987) to be the correct author.
