Yimnashana is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. The genus Tinkhamia is included as a subgenus.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genus Yimnashana was established in 1937 by Gressitt.[1] In 2016, the genus Tinkhamia was reduced to a subgenus of Yimnashana. The authors considered that Tinkhamia was very closely related to Yimnashana, differing only in having completely divided eyes and even more reduced wings. A phylogenetic analysis based on similarity measures showed that when treated as separate, Tinkhamia and Yimnashana were the most closely related genera within the tribe Gyaritini.[2]

Subgenera and species

[edit]

As of October 2023, BioLib accepted two subgenera, containing seven species in total.[1]
