Notes.

A diverse genus including several spp. without oblique subocular depression for which the names Prosapha Foerster, 1863, Panerema Foerster, 1863, and Pterusa Fischer, 1958, are available. An extensive worldwide phylogenetic study of the genus Dinotrema is necessary before a well-based decision can be made on a possible recognition as subgenus or genus. Synaldis Foerster is recognised as subgenus for convenience, because the recognition as genus likely renders the genus Dinotrema Foerster paraphyletic, and the loss of vein 1-SR+M occurred probably more than once in the genus.
