Eneopterinae incertae sedis

Swezwilderia Chopard (type species: Swezwilderia bryani Chopard )

According to phylogenetic analyses, the position of Swezwilderia within Eneopterinae is uncertain. The morphological phylogeny places it at the basis of the Nisitrini tribe, as the sister group of ( Nisitrus – Paranisitra ) (Robillard, 2006; Robillard & Desutter-Grandcolas, 2004a). This is contradicted later by the study including both molecular and morphological characters (Robillard & Desutter-Grandcolas, 2006), which puts Swezwilderia within the Lebinthini tribe, as the sister group of Cardiodactylus , as hypothesised by Chopard (1929) when he described the genus. However, in both studies the position of Swezwilderia is weakly supported. Stabilisation is thus expected before placing the genus in one tribe or another with confidence.
