Baeocolletina Engel , new subtribe

ZooBank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:7813BA5F-3A4F-4AAC-B12C-422A05239EEC

TYPE GENUS: Baeocolletes Michener , 1965.

DIAGNOSIS: This subtribe includes the only Neopasiphaeini in which the forewing 1m-cu meets the first submarginal cell proximal to 1Rs. Packercolletes is included here tentatively owing to the possession of this feature, but it could have acquired it independently. Since there is, at present, no clear character evidence contradicting such a placement, I have included it here pending future work on the Australian fauna.

INCLUDED GENERA: The subtribe includes Baeocolletes and the enigmatic Packercolletes , n. gen. (infra).
