Subfamily * Phacopteroninae Heslop-Harrison, 1958 stat. nov.

Phacoseminae Kieffer, 1906: 387 (the substitute name Phacopteronidae is maintained according to the ICZN 1999/2012, article 40.2).

Pseudophacopterini Bekker-Migdisova, 1973: 103.

Pseudophacopteroninae Li, 2011: 233.

Comments

The Phacopteroninae is strongly supported as a monophylum in both mtg trees and morphologically (Heslop-Harrison 1958; White & Hodkinson 1985). The subfamily corresponds to the concept of Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012). The genera are poorly defined and their phylogenetic relationships are unknown.
