Remarks: The genus Parametrypa Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1873 was recently transferred to the Neotropical tribe Paroecanthini (Gorochov,2021). However, this genus is from the southern African continent, and there are no males described for any species. Male characters are crucial for the classification of Oecanthidae. The poor knowledge of this genus and its discrepant distribution could support the reallocation of Parametrypa to Podoscirtini again. There is a similar situation for Idiotrella Gorochov, 2002. According to Cigliano et al. (2022), this genus belongs to Aphonomorphini, a Neotropical tribe; however, the distribution of Idiotrella is through southern China and Indonesia. Moreover, the male genital structures and a developed stridulatory apparatus match with Podoscirtini, not Aphonomorphini, whose forewings have only longitudinal veins (see Aphonomorphini diagnosis below).
