Subfamily Orthotylinae
Synonyms and other taxonomic changes Author: Van Duzee, 1916 Size 2 tribes and about 50 genera in North America (3 tribes and around 200 genera in the world) Identification The Orthotylinae have traditionally been diagnosed by their possession of lamellate, apically divergent parempodia. This type of parempodial structure also occurs in the tribe Pilophorini which is placed in the Phylinae on the basis of the structure of the male genitalia. The male and female genitalia of the Orthotylinae have some structural attributes that offer additional evidence suggesting that the group may be monophyletic. These features include vesical spicules in the male and elaborations of the posterior wall in the female. (1)Range Worldwide, especially in South America and Australia.
