This is the smallest and least diverse of the Diapheromeridae subfamilies. Sometimes this subfamily is held to contain a single tribe
Palophini, but this is redundant as long as no
basal members of this lineage are known e.g. as
fossils. Of its mere two
genera, one is fairly speciose (with new species still being discovered), but the other is
monotypic. The genera are: •
Bactrododema Stål, 1858 (including
Palophus) •
Dematobactron Karny, 1923 ==Footnotes==
