Remarks: The genus Parametrypa Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1873 was recently transferred to the Neotropical tribe Paroecanthini ( Gorochov,2021) . However, this genus is from the southern African continent, and there are no males described for any species. Male characters are crucial for the classification of Oecanthidae . The poor knowledge of this genus and its discrepant distribution could support the reallocation of Parametrypa to Podoscirtini again. There is a similar situation for Idiotrella Gorochov, 2002 . According to Cigliano et al. (2022), this genus belongs to Aphonomorphini , a Neotropical tribe; however, the distribution of Idiotrella is through southern China and Indonesia. Moreover, the male genital structures and a developed stridulatory apparatus match with Podoscirtini, not Aphonomorphini , whose forewings have only longitudinal veins (see Aphonomorphini diagnosis below).
