2. Xerophyllini Günther, 1979

Xerophyllini Günther, 1979: 17 , Devriese 1999: 28, Storozhenko & Paik 2011: 48, Skejo et al. 2019: 546.

Acmophyllini Günther, 1979: 24 , Otte 1997: 12, Devriese 1999: 28 (synonym of Xerophyllini ), Storozhenko & Paik 2011: 48 (accepted synonymy with Xerophyllini ).

Type genus. Xerophyllum Fairmaire, 1846 , endemic to tropical Africa.

Representatives in India and Sri Lanka. India and Sri Lanka are inhabited by representatives of two genera—one species of Potua (?) and three species of Tettilobus , two of which are endemic to the rainforests of the Western Ghats of India, and one to the rainforests of central Sri Lanka.

Notes. Following Storozhenko & Paik’s (2011) division of the subfamily into two tribes, Xerophyllini are characterized by a straight or concave, depressed vertex, whose middle part is usually the lowest part of the vertex in frontal view, and on each side, there are high fastigial horns.
