Description
Subtribe Clitina Grishin, 2019
Type genus: Clito Evans, 1953.
ZooBank registration: 971884E2-E5F7-46A3-B182-657729B6A778
Diagnosis: The subtribe was defined as a clade from about 30 Mya that contains the genus Clito, and putatively synapomorphic DNA characters for this clade were given (Li et al., 2019). Phenotypically, species in this subtribe would key to E.52 or E.13.8 in Evans (1953). A possible synapomorphic character is a conspicuously long sheath of aedeagus that distinguishes this subtribe from its relatives. In addition, a combination of the following characters is diagnostic: uncus undivided, tapered, apiculus arcuate at its center, sharply pointed, nudum not equally partitioned, 3/13: apiculus much longer than the club, mid tibiae with spines, wings produced, forewing inner margin straight, hindwing anal margin longer than costal margin, outer margin irregular, hindwing without hyaline spots but frequently with white areas (Fig. 10).
Genera included: Clito Evans, 1953.
Parent Taxon: Tribe Erynnini Brues & Carpenter, 1932.
