In his classification of Opiinae, Fischer (1972) proposed the name Pokomandyina for Indiopius and Pokomandya. Fischer defined Pokomandyina solely on the basis of the loss of fore wing 2RS, with the two genera differing in the number of other wing vein segments that have been lost: the venation is more complete in Pokomandya, with both fore wing m-cu and r-m present. Some of the undetermined material in various museums seems to be intermediate between Pokomandya and Indiopius in venation. Wharton (1988: 349) therefore suggested that other characters might be more useful in defining these two genera, while noting that the type species of Indiopius lacked an occipital carina. The allotype of the type species of Pokomandya, on the other hand, has the occipital carina present laterally. Wharton (1988: 349) also treated Pokomandyina as a synonym of Opiina.
There are no specimens currently determined for this OTU, or those specimens determined for this OTU are not yet mappable.
