Subfamily Trichopezinae Vaillant, 1981
- Trichopezinae.
Introduction
Trichopezini was originally proposed as a tribe within the Hemerodromiinae, including the single genus Trichopeza Rondani. Sinclair (1995) raised the status to subfamily and included several genera previously included in Clinocerinae and Oreogetoninae. Sinclair & Cumming (2006) moved the subfamily to the Brachystomatidae. Wahlberg & Johanson (2018) reinstated Trichopezini as a tribe within the Brachystominae, however, Sinclair & Saigusa (2022) later recognised the Trichopezinae as a subfamily within the Brachystomatidae.
