Subfamily Stiriinae
Introduction
[After Edwards 1996: 331]
This subfamily was separated by Hogue (1963) and is discussed by Matthews (1991). Speidel et al. (1996), Kitching & Rawlins (1998) and Mitchell et al. (2006) support the recognition of this classification.
Austrazenia Warren is the only Australian genus currently included. The two species occur in arid tropical habitats.
