Subgenus Taeniomastix Enderlein, 1942

D i a g n o s i s. Slender and smaller species: wing length 5–8 (–9) mm; scutellum with one pair of sctl setae, if with 2 pairs, then fore trochanter of female without spiny setulae, ventral hooks of oviscape sharp and slender; male genitalia (known only for E. spinifemur and E. pictiventris ): surstylus short, epandrium subquadrate in lateral view.

S p e c i e s i n c l u d e d. Four species are known to occur in the Oriental (and partly in Palaearctic), and two in Afrotropical Regions: E. formosana (Hennig, 1938) (Apyrgota) (Taiwan), comb. n.; E. griseipennis (Hendel, 1933) (Adapsilia) ( China: Szechwan; Laos; Indonesia: Sumatra) (= Taeniomastix sumatrana Enderlein, 1942 , syn. n.); E. pictiventris (Hendel, 1914) (Apyrgota) , comb. n. ( Sri Lanka; India, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan; Korea) (= Adapsilia facialis Hendel, 1933 , syn. n.; = E. tigrina Kim & Han, 2000 syn. n.); E. saegeri (Vanschuytbroeck, 1963) (Lygiohypotyphla) ( Nigeria, DR Congo, Côte-d’Ivoire); E. spinifemur (Hendel, 1934) (Adapsilia) ( Nigeria, DR Congo); E. unicolor (Hendel, 1914) (Apyrgota) ( Sri Lanka), comb. n. In addition, four to five undescribed species from the Oriental Region ( India, Sri Lanka) and the Papuan Subregion of Australasian Region are recognized in collections; I do not describe them here, as the condition of specimens is poor and range of character variability is poorly understood.
