(1916) indicated that Banya was probably related to Menida
(abdominal spine), but that it had superficial resemblance to members of
Benia and Mabusana. Linnavuori (1982) showed that it was not
related to the latter two genera; he also gave considerable evidence to
separate it from Menida and allies. He placed it in its own generic
group. Until this can be further studied and the group formally named, we
take the conservative approach and leave this genus in the Menidini.
