Tribe Opilonini Gistel, 1848
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’.
Fourteen Australian genera are included here under the subtribe Opilonina.
