Introduction

Fennah (1978) recognised two subtribes based on a feature of the tegmen venation. Both subtribes are represented in Australia although all but one species of Australian Varciini are only known from Christmas Island, geographically closer to Indonesia than Australia.

Diagnosis

Teeth on basal metatarsal segment arranged in a shallow curve, setose eminence in the hollow of the curve small. Third valvulae of ovipositor tumid dorsoapically, with fine setae and usually a narrow band of denticles laterally; mesal margin slightly produced caudad at level of apex of first valvulae (Fennah 1978).
