Tytthus Fieber, 1864: 82 View in CoL (n. gen.).

DISCUSSION: Tytthus Fieber was placed in the Leucophoropterini by Schuh (1974) based on the shared synapomorphies of a relatively small pygophore and simple male genitalia. However, based on a phylogenetic analysis of the subfamily, Tytthus instead falls in a separate lineage with Karoocapsus Poppius and several other Phylini genera (Menard et al., in press). Tytthus is therefore moved out of the Leucophoropterini and into a broadly conceived Phylini .
