Subtribe Taphurina Distant, 1905b

Remarks. The reassignment of all the genera previously assigned to the Tryellina Moulds, 2005 to the Lamotialnini Boulard, 1976 ( Marshall et al. 2018) left the Taphurina and the Anopercalnina Boulard, 2008 as the only remaining subtribes in the Taphurini . The Anopercalnina contains a single Malagasy genus whose males lack opercula ( Boulard 2008). Eight of the nine Neotropical genera currently assigned to the Taphurina are monospecific with only Taphura containing multiple species.
