Overview
Flórez-V. and Evangelista (2021a) assessed the boundaries of the tribe Hyphinoini and provided an updated tribal definition and a new illustrated key to its five genera. Their research indicates that a reappraisal of the genera of Hyphinoini will likely result in the description of new taxa.
