Callistinae

Callista was originally considered a child taxon in Pitarinae ( Keen, 1951) . Habe (1977) was the first to transfer it to subfamily Callistinae . The controversy surrounding the relationship between the two subfamilies and their genera has arisen ever since. Our results support the separation of Callistinae from Pitarinae s.l., rejecting the proposal to treat them as synonymous (Higo et al., 1999; Coan et al., 2000; Huber, 2010).
