1.1. Taxonomie

Koçak & Seven (1997: 109) hatten die Subtribus "Unkanina" als Teil der Tribus "Plastingiini" eingeführt. Huang et al. (2024) kamen bei ihrer umfangreichen genetischen Studie zum Schluss: "Unkanini new status. This tribe was originally introduced as a subtribe, Unkanina, of Pastingiini [sic!] (Koçak & Seven, 1997), which was equivalent to Evans’ (1949) Unkana subgroup. Seven genera (Unkana, Pirdana, Ilma, Lotongus, Pudicitia, Quedara, and Hyarotis) were recovered as a well-supported clade in the present study (Fig. 5)."
