some of them here under different generic names, since I have already 

 recognized three or four generic types of males among the Pezouuichin') . 

 Some 78 genera fall in this tribe, as at present interpreted, although 

 some of these, if I have identified them correctl}^, will have to be 

 removed to other tribes later, that is, to the Phygadeuonini PezomachiQi!., 

 and possibly to the Plectlscini.
