Subfamily Westermanniinae
Introduction
The subfamily Westermanniinae was treated as a synonym of the Chloephorinae in Edwards (1996), but has been raised to separate subfamily status by Kitching & Rawlins (1998) with Holloway (2003) further defining the grouping on the basis of male genitalia characters. Zahiri
The Australian species are all placed in genera which are found elsewhere in SE Asia and Oceania.
