Tribe Netrocorynini Grishin, 2019

Type genus: Netrocoryne C. & R. Felder, [1867] .

ZooBank registration: DE61F048-02CF-4F8E-9392-D18A4618BABD

Diagnosis: The tribe was defined as a clade from about 40-45 Mya that contains the genus Netrocoryne , and putatively synapomorphic DNA characters for this clade were given ( Li et al., 2019). Phenotypically, species in this tribe would key to B.2, C.1, or C. 15 in Evans (1949). Unexpected assemblage of genera without obvious synapomorphies (Fig. 72). Previously placed in tribe Tagiadini Mabille, 1878 , but can be distinguished from them by the following somewhat convoluted combination of choices. If palpi erect, then mid and hind tibiae without spines and antennae not less than half of costa length in males, forewing vein M 3 originates midway between veins CuA 1 and M 1 (not M 2). If palpi porrect, then antennal club not flattened or twisted, apiculus tapered to a point (not blunt), palpi long, sometimes longer than head, and if club angled or hooked towards apiculus, then forewing cell not sorter than outer margin, forewing produced and truncate at apex, and hindwing produced at the end of vein 3; if the club arcuate or obtuse from the thickest part, then apiculus short, nudum with less than 17 segments, and hindwing costa produced at apex and longer than outer margin.
