Tribe Zaphanerini

This tribe was proposed by David (1990) for Zaphanera , (Appendix A). Five species of this genus including the type-species, Z. cyanotis Corbett , were included in the present study. These formed two separate monophyletic clades which were supported by relatively high Jacknife values ( Figure 13 ). The African and oriental species ( Z. capparis Bink-Moenen and Z. cyanotis , respectively) were recovered in one, and the three Australian species in another ( Figures 13 and 14 ). Thus, the Australian species ( Z. niger (Maskell) , Z. papyrocarpae Martin , and Z. rhachisreticulata Martin ) do not appear to be congeneric with the type-species and a new genus needs to be erected for them (see ‘‘Nomenclatural changes’’).
