Circumscription

edit

The type genus is Incolacris, originally based on the tribe "Incolacri", then elevated to subfamily level by S.Y. Storozhenko in 2021.[3] In this review, Incolacris was revived to its original name (having also been placed in the subfamily Catantopinae) and the genus Asymmetritania was separated from Stolzia (which is now restricted to Malesia, with uncertain records from India).
