Summary
Until now only four tribes have been defined in Leptoceridae, all in the subfamily Leptocerinae. Genera in Triplectidinae and most genera described since 1955 in Leptocerinae have never been assigned to tribes. Based on observations by Ulmer and on recent phylogenetic studies two of these four tribes (Mystacidini and Leptocerini) are paraphyletic groups. Consequently, as a conceptual framework for predictive biology and for future generic revisions, a new phylogeny and tribal classification are proposed for the family and its 45 currently recognized genera. The resulting eleven tribes in two subfamilies include six new family-group names.
