Tribe Neurotomini Benson, 1945
The representatives of this tribe are characterized as follows ( Shinohara 2002b): head with lateral sutures divergent forward and not connected with antennal furrows ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 : 1a); tarsal claws elongate (e.g., Figs 21h View FIGURE 21 , 23h View FIGURE 23 , 24h View FIGURE 24 , 26h View FIGURE 26 ); forewing with vein Scl absent ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 : 1b); abdominal sternum 7 in female not strongly convex, with paired rounded ridges apically, enclosing rather small triangular marginal depression (fig. 4E–G in Shinohara 2002b); lancet with lamnium enlarged ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 : 1c).
Two postulated autapomorphies, the absence of vein Scl in the forewing and the enlarged lamnium of the lancet of the ovipositor, may support the monophyly of this tribe. In our molecular analyses using COI and NaK sequences ( Figs 15, 16 View FIGURES 14–16 ), Neurotoma was also retrieved as monophyletic with 100% UFBoot support.
The Neurotomini contains a single genus, Neurotoma , in the extant fauna.
