Tribe LEPTOPSALTRIINI Moulton, 1923

Remarks

Hill et al. (2021) noted molecular phylogenetic evidence of confusion between the tribes Gaeanini Distant, 1905 and Leptopsaltriini Moulton, 1923 and suggested that Gaeanini could perhaps be redefined as a subtribe within Leptopsaltriini . However, in such a case tribe Gaeanini would take priority since it is the older family group. In this paper, we refrain from synonymising Leptopsaltriini with Gaeanini, awaiting a further comprehensive morphological review.
