“…Current generic and tribal classifications of Prioninae, mostly inherited from Lameere (1919), have been frequently revised by different authors over this century mostly based on regional faunae of the Northern Hemisphere (e.g., Gressitt 1951, Ohbayashi & Niisato 2007, Villiers 1978, Danilevsky 2014, Linsley 1961, 1962), Africa (Quentin & Villiers 1974, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1983) and South America (Galileo 1987a-b, Galileo & Martins 1992, 1993a-c, 1994a-b, Monné 2006). However, those proposals have hardly been tested on a broader scale.…”
