Tribe? Scudderiini Brunner-Wattenwyl, 1878

Remarks. In this tribe, several more or less related genera were included ( Cadena-Castañeda 2015a). These genera are mainly characterized by a few primitive characters: head rostrum is rather narrow and divided into two simple and small tubercles (more or less as in Anaulacomerina ); tegmina are rather narrow and with normal structure of the both RS vein and area between branches of MP+CuA1, as well as with the proxilateral corner of male mirror not very narrowed (Figs 122, 123); tympana are completely opened, oval; styles of male genital plate are articulated with this plate but not fused with it. However, these styles are absent in the genus Scudderia Stål, 1873 (type genus of this tribe). Thus, the Scudderiini sensu Cadena-Castañeda is here used only as a problematic tribe which is in need of clarification of its composition and systematic position.
