Tribe Lyttini

According to morphological (Bologna & Pinto 2001) and a preliminar molecular study ( Bologna et al. 2008c), Lyttini appear to be a polyphyletic group. Additional molecular studies actually support the monophyly of the tribe with the inclusion of some genera referred to other tribes (Bologna et al. unpublished). In the present catalogue, we consider in this tribe the genera previously referred to Lyttini by Bologna (1991) and by Bologna & Pinto (2002), with the addition of Cyaneolytta .
