Description

Subtribe Taphurina Distant, 1905b

Only the Taphurina and the Anopercalnina Boulard, 2008 remain as subtribes in the Taphurini after the reassignment of the genera previously assigned to the Tryellina Moulds, 2005 to the Lamotialnini Boulard, 1976 (Marshall et al. 2018). The Anopercalnina contains a single genus inhabiting Madagascar whose males lack opercula (Boulard 2008). Historically the Taphurini was a repository for small species with uncertain classification as illustrated by the fact that genera previously assigned to the Taphurini have been distributed recently to seven tribes in four subfamilies (Marshall et al. 2018). Eight of the nine Neotropical genera currently within the Taphurina are monospecific with only Taphura containing multiple species.
