Hybotinae. It looks like Hybos, except in the New World they never have convergent R4+5 and M. Syndyas and Euhybus do, but are otherwise distinguishable. Syndyas has a clubbed hind tibia, and Euhybus has a shorter proboscis and is not found near Australia. |

Thanks John. ALA has only 1 genus, Hybos under Hybotinae. |
