Tribe Eginiini Stein, 1907 [Syllegopterini Brauer & Bergenstamm 1889]

Adult morphology and larval biology leave no doubt that this small tribe is monophyletic (Michelsen 2007). Species from two out of four recognized genera (Table 1) were examined.

• Eginia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Xenotachina Malloch, 1921

The two examined species, Eginia ocypterata (Meigen, 1826) and Xenotachina pallida Malloch, 1921, have vein C extensively setulose dorsally (state A8). The same state expectedly applies to all eginiine genera and species.
