Guides
Agriotina
Agriotina is a subtribe of click beetles (Elateridae) established by Laporte in 1840. It belongs to the tribe Agriotini within the subfamily Elaterinae. Members are characterized by morphological traits associated with the elaterid body plan, including the prosternal process that interacts with the mesosternum to enable the 'clicking' escape mechanism. The subtribe encompasses multiple genera of generally small to medium-sized beetles.
Dicrepidiini
Dicrepidiini is a tribe of click beetles (Elateridae) within the subfamily Elaterinae. Members are characterized by specific morphological features of the prosternal process and associated structures. The tribe was established by J. Thomson in 1858 and remains taxonomically accepted.
Physorhinini
Physorhinini is a tribe of click beetles (Elateridae) established by Candèze in 1859. Members of this tribe are part of the subfamily Elaterinae and are characterized by morphological features of the pronotum and prosternal processes. The tribe includes multiple genera distributed across various regions, with approximately 958 observations documented on iNaturalist. As a higher-level taxon, specific diagnostic traits vary among constituent genera.
