Mesogenini

Mesogenini is a tribe of false click beetles within the subfamily Eucneminae, erected by Muona in 1993. The tribe belongs to the family Eucnemidae, a group of beetles commonly known as false click beetles due to their resemblance to click beetles (Elateridae) but lacking the prosternal process that enables the clicking mechanism. Members of this tribe are part of the Elateroidea superfamily and share the general eucnemid body plan of somewhat flattened, often shiny beetles with reduced or non-functional clicking ability.
