Stenochiinae
Stenochiinae is a subfamily of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) comprising over 390 genera. It is divided into three tribes: Cnodalonini, Stenochiini, and Talanini. The subfamily has a mainly pantropical distribution with some species extending to higher latitudes. Recent phylogenetic studies suggest that tribal classifications within Stenochiinae may require systematic rearrangement, as morphological characters shared between Stenochiini and Cnodalonini complicate their separation.
Talanus
Talanus is a genus of darkling beetles (family Tenebrionidae) in the tribe Talanini. It was described by Jacquelin du Val in 1857. The genus is known from Colombia based on occurrence records. As a member of the subfamily Stenochiinae, these beetles are part of a diverse group of mostly tropical and subtropical tenebrionids.
