IDENTIFICATION KEY TO TAFALISCINAE GENERA (ADAPTED FROM CAMPOS ET AL., 2020 AND CAMPOS & DESUTTER- GRANDCOLAS, 2020)

This key contains all Tafaliscinae genera, except for the following genera, that must be reviewed: Bofana , Nessa and Stenaphonus . These genera have similar features to Angustitrella , Brazitrypa and Tafalisca , respectively and it is not possible to separate them in this key. Simultaneously, it is not possible to synonymize these genera because their types were not examined. Nessa and Stenaphonus are transferred to Tafaliscinae due to their morphological characteristics, from the original descriptions, and distribution. Both genera require revision.
