   Enderleinia Schmidt, 1907.

Introduction

This tribe includes the bulk of the meagre Australian machaerotine fauna. The Australian Enderleiniini are also the most frequently encountered of the subfamily being regularly attracted to light. Maa (1963) recognised 14 genera spread across the old world tropics, mainly inhabiting rainforests, with seven species in three genera found in Australia.

Diagnosis

Schildchen ohne Dornfortsatz, nach hinten verlängert, den Hinterleib überragend; Deckflügel breit; dritte Längsader der Flügel hinter der Mitte gegabelt (Schmidt 1907).

Body usually more elongate than in Hindoloidini, medium to large size, strongly to weakly humpbacked. Corial appendix of tegmen usually smooth. Hind tibia with 2, seldom 1 lateral spine. Abdomen moderately short, its apex often extending beyond level of scutellar apex. Nymphal tube usually subconic (Maa 1963).
