Tribe Odontophlogistus group Bartlett, 2021 (Informal group)
Introduction
Bartlett (2021) established the concept of the clerine supertribe Opilonitae to accommodate two tribes, Dieropsini Winkler, 1964 (with no Australian taxa) and Opilonini Gistel, 1848 (containing the subtribes Cleropiestina Winkler, 1980 with no Australian taxa, and Opilonina Gistel, 1848 with Australian representatives), and the informal ‘Odontophlogistus group’.
Two genera, Odontophlogistus Elston and Sedlacekvia Winkler, are included here within the ‘Odontophlogistus group’, the assignment of which to a formal suprageneric grouping is pending further investigation.
