Tribe Spathophorini

The most complete work involving the Spathophorini is that of Brailovsky & Barrera (1998), which includes a key to most of the genera of this tribe. The genus Egerniella Brailovsky was not described at that time, and the amended key from Brailovsky (2000) should be used for the identification of Colombian specimens.

Currently, the only available key to identify the Colombian species of this tribe is that of Brailovsky (2000) for the genus Egerniella , while also offers diagnostic illustrations for the species of Himellastella Brailovsky & Barrera. Furthermore, Zurique & Lanuza-Garay (2020) discussed the species of Acocopus Stål , their diagnostic characters and pointed out the possibility that they could correspond to the same taxon. Six species compose this tribe in the country, with three first recorded here.
