Notes

Echthrus is placed in the Cryptini , following Laurenne et al. (2006), rather than in the Hemigastrini , where it was placed by Townes (1970). Townes and Townes (1960) had previously placed Echthrus in the Cryptini based on similarities to the genera that Townes (1970) classified as the subtribe Gabuniina . The molecular results of Laurenne et al. (2006) support this interpretation, in agreement with Townes and Townes (1962).
