Tribe Paleopsylloidini † Bekker-Migdisova, 1985

Palaeoaphalarinae † Klimaszewski in Klimaszewski & Popov, 1993: 14.

Comments

The poorly defined Paleopsylloidini † comprises seven Eocene genera. Ouvrard et al. (2013) suggested that the tribe may be paraphyletic with respect to Aphalarini which includes only recent representatives.

In an overview of Hemiptera represented in the Insect Limestone (latest Eocene) of the Isle of Wight, UK, Szwedo et al. (2019) listed the tribes Aphalarini and Palaeoaphalarini †. They placed Paleopsylloides † Bekker-Migdisova, 1985, type genus of Palaeoaphalarini †, in the former tribe rather than in the latter, which is an obvious oversight.

Parascenia †); Lapidopsylla † Klimaszewski in Klimaszewski and Popov, 1993; Necropsylla † Scudder, 1890; Paleopsylloides † Bekker-Migdisova, 1985; Proeurotica † Bekker-Migdisova, 1985 (syn.
