| Taxonomic Notes: |
Asbolis capucinus (Lucas, 1857): generic placement follows Pohl & Nanz (2025) following guidance from Pelham stating, "Status of the genera in this subtribe is tentative; we refrain from recognizing the synonymy of Asbolis and Pyrrhocalles with Choranthus, proposed by Zhang et al. (2022c), pending further research." |
