Alcock divides the tribe into families, Maiidae and Parthenopidae, 

 the former containing four sub-families, Inachinae, Acanthonychinae, 

 Pisinae, and Maiinae, the latter containing two sub-families, Par- 

 thenopinae and Eumedoninae. These subdivisions are here treated 

 as families, with the consequent alteration in the ending of the 

 names, with the further change of Pisinae into the Blastidas and 

 Maiinae into Mamaiidae for reasons which have been already 

 explained elsewhere.
