Iassinae changes...

Iassinae is treated in Dietrich et al 2017 as including Gyponinae as a tribe (Gyponini). Also, Pachyopsis is now placed in the tribe Selenomorphini (Dai & Dietrich 2015). I would recommend the classification used here be changed to:

Iassinae: Gyponini, Selenomorphini, Hyalojassini, Iassini



Dai, W. and Dietrich, C.H., 2015. A new genus of Iassinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from Peru and a new species of Daveyoungana Blocker & Webb. Zootaxa, 3946(2), pp.285-295.

Dietrich, C.H., Allen, J.M., Lemmon, A.R., Lemmon, E.M., Takiya, D.M., Evangelista, O., Walden, K.K., Grady, P.G., Johnson, K.P. and Wiegmann, B., 2017. Anchored hybrid enrichment-based phylogenomics of leafhoppers and treehoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadomorpha: Membracoidea). Insect Systematics and Diversity, 1(1), pp.57-72.

Scarini is syn. of Gyponini in 3I
See the 3I Gyponini page. Perhaps it was updated in the past couple weeks.

I was just looking for BG's Gyponinae page but found Iassinae: Gyponini instead. So that was updated here.

Scarini
Yes, I had noticed that, but I think we should go with the new publication which just came out, perhaps they haven't updated the 3I database yet.

OK, added the tribe Selenomorphini
and placed the genus Pachyopsis under it. Also sent a note to John VanDyk asking that the subfamily Gyponinae node be changed to a tribe Gyponini and then moved under subfamily Iassinae. Will try to remember to check in a little while and see if that has happened.

Gyponini
I agree. So everything in Gyponinae should be moved to a new tribe page within Iassinae.

Interesting to note, but the Dmitriev database includes Gyponana, Gypona, etc. in the tribe Scarini, which is within Iassinae. We should follow the publication though.
