Comments

After elevating Euxanthellini and Prococcophagini to tribes, four genera remain in Coccophagini: Coccophagus s.s., Lounsburyia Compere and Insley, 1961, Mexidalgus Myartseva, 2014, and Timberlakiella . Preliminary phylogenomic analyses recover this restricted Coccophagini as polyphyletic. Additional taxa must be sampled to confidently resolve the classification of Coccophagini . Presently we maintain Coccophagini as a tribe, and we provide a contemporary treatment of Timberlakiella .
