Remarks. This tribe was reviewed by Knight & Webb (1993). In addition to the species described below, three other species were recorded from Pakistan by Pruthi, i.e. indica Pruthi , ocellatus Pruthi and sanguinescens (Kirkaldy). The first of these is a synonym of incisa , the second of saltuella and the third of rubrostriata . As we cannot be certain of Pruthi’s identification of saltuella we have not included this species here or in the checklist although being a cosmopolitan species it should be present.
