Abstract: A synoptic classification of the Tenebrionidae is presented. The family is divided into 10 subfamilies, 96 tribes and 61 subtribes. A catalogue containing 319 family-group names based on 266 genera is also included. Each family-group name entry includes data on original spelling and type genus. All references associated with family-group and genus-group names were examined (except where indicated otherwise) and listed in the bibliography. Current usage of family-group and genus-group names were preserved, when possible, to promote stability of the classification. A summary of the required changes of family-group names in Tenebrionidae is presented in a tabular format.
The following family-group names were based on preoccupied type genera and are therefore invalid: Anisocerini Reitter, Apolitina Seidlitz, Calcariens Mulsant, Cisteleniae Latreille, Cnemodini Horn, Dysantinae Gebien, Eutélides Lacordaire, Hétéroscélites Solier, Omocratates Mulsant and Rey, Pachycerina Skopin, Pandarites Mulsant and Rey, Phanerotomina Koch and Phylacides Lacordaire. The following family-group names were proposed in a vernacular form and not subsequently Latinized and are therefore unavailable: Alégoriides Lacordaire, Autocérides Lacordaire, Camarides Chenu and Desmarest, Cardiosites Deyrolle, Cnemeplatiites Jacquelin DuVal, Cylindrothorides Lacordaire, Dilamites Jacquelin DuVal, Dissonomites Jacquelin DuVal, Embaphionides Lacordaire, Eutomides Lacordaire, Gnathocérites Jacquelin DuVal, Héliopathaires Mulsant, Héliopathates Mulsant and Rey, Hypéropides Lacordaire, Isocérates Mulsant and Rey, Macropodites Solier, Micrositates Mulsant and Rey, Phobéliides Lacordaire, Onychosites Deyrolle, Pachyptérites Jacquelin DuVal, Sitophagiens Mulsant, Trachynotides Brullé and Trigonopaires Mulsant and Rey. The following names were proposed after 1930 without a description or definition and are therefore unavailable: Anaedini Skopin, Ectromopsini Antoine, Eupsophulites Kwieton, Hoplocephalini Kwieton, Praogenini Ferreira, Stenotrichinae Blaisdell, Thesileini Kaszab and Xanthomini Antoine. The following changes were implemented based on the Principle of Priority (with the junior synonym in parentheses): Adelostomini (= Eurychorini), Amphidorini (= Eleodini), Centriopterini (= Cryptoglossini), Cnodalonini (= Coelometopini), Edrotini (= Eurymetopini), Eurynotini (= Oncotini), Melambiini (= Litoborini), Sepidiini (= Molurini), Stenochiinae (= Coelometopinae), Stenochiini (= Strongyliini), Xystropodina (= Lystronychina). Supporting references are given for the preservation of the tribe name Pycnocerini nom. protectum, which is given precedence over Chiroscelini nom. oblitum. Dysantina Gebien, 1922 [type genus: Dysantes Pascoe, 1871; not Foerster, 1868: Hymenoptera] is replaced by Eudysantina nom. nov. [type genus: Eudysantes nom. nov. for Dysantes Pascoe]. The subfamily Palorinae Matthews, 2003 is downgraded to a tribe (Palorini stat. nov.) and placed in the subfamily Tenebrioninae. Neopsectropinae Kaszab, 1941 syn. nov. = Ulomini Blanchard, 1845. Rhipidandri LeConte, 1862 syn. nov. and Eutomides Lacordaire, 1866 syn. nov. = Bolitophagini Kirby, 1837. Dejean (1834) is recognized as the author of the following genera for the first time: Epiphysa, Leichenum, Leptodes, Microzoum and Sclerum. Scleron Hope, 1840 syn. nov. = Sclerum Dejean, 1834. Sepedonastes Gistel, 1856 syn. nov. = Phaleria Latreille, 1802. Sepedonastes bimaculatus Herbst, 1799 is designated as the type species of Sepedonastes. Isocerus Dejean, 1821 is a junior homonym of Isocerus Illiger, 1802: Cerambycidae. Neoisocerus nom. nov. is proposed as the replacement name for Isocerus Dejean, 1821. Supporting references are included for the preservation of the genus name Strongylium Kirby, 1819 nom. protectum, which is given precedence over Strongylium Ditmar, 1809: Protozoa nom. oblitum under Article 23.9.
