Tribe Acoenoniini Pritchard

Pritchard (1960a) introduced this tribe for the genus Acoenonia Pritchard , at that time containing only the typespecies, A. perissa Pritchard. Acoenoniini are clearly distinct from other Micromyinae in both larval ( Mamaev & Krivosheina 1993: 81, 89f) and adult ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2009: 87f.) characters, the latter as follows. The wing membrane has a few or no distal setae; the costal break is situated far before the apex of the wing ( Fig. 9E View FIGURE 9 ); the apices of the tibiae bear several scalelike, pointed spines marginally ( Jaschhof 1998: fig. 42h); and the antennal flagellomeres of males have indistinct crenulate whorls ( Fig. 9C View FIGURE 9 ). Acoenoniini are thought to be the sister-group of Campylomyzini based on synapomorphies, such as the laterally incomplete eye-bridge and the ejaculatory apodeme modified apically and/or basally ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2009: 296). Acoenonia is the only genus of this tribe.
