Guides
Speleobamini
Speleobamini is a tribe of rove beetles in the subfamily Pselaphinae, established by Park in 1951. Members of this tribe are small, highly specialized beetles associated with subterranean and cave environments. The tribe is part of the diverse Pselaphinae radiation, which contains numerous microhabitat specialists. Speleobamini represents one of several lineages within Pselaphinae that have adapted to dark, moist habitats.
Stamnodini
Stamnodini is a tribe of geometer moths within the subfamily Larentiinae. The tribe contains at least two genera: Stamnoctenis and Stamnodes. Members of this tribe are part of a diverse group of moths commonly known as carpet moths or pug moths, though specific common names for the tribe itself are not established.
Stenocerini
Stenocerini is a tribe of fungus weevils within the subfamily Anthribinae of the beetle family Anthribidae. The tribe comprises at least sixteen genera, including Stenocerus (the type genus), Allandrus, and Helmoreus. Members are classified as fungus weevils, indicating an association with fungal resources. The tribe has a documented presence across multiple continents based on observation records.
Stenoxenini
Stenoxenini is a tribe of biting midges within the family Ceratopogonidae. These small flies are placed in the subfamily Ceratopogoninae. The tribe contains relatively few described species and is characterized by distinctive morphological features related to mouthpart structure. Members are poorly known compared to other ceratopogonid tribes, with limited biological and ecological data available.
Synchitini
cylindrical bark beetles
Synchitini is a tribe of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae, established by Redtenbacher in 1845. The tribe contains approximately 19 genera and at least 40 described species. Members of this group are characterized by their elongated, cylindrical body form adapted for living under bark. A fossil genus, †Paleoendeitoma, has been described from Burmese amber dating to the Cenomanian period.
Systropodini
Systropodini is a tribe of bee flies within the subfamily Toxophorinae of the family Bombyliidae. Members of this tribe are characterized by distinctive morphological features that separate them from other toxophorine groups. The tribe contains multiple genera distributed across various regions. Bee flies in this group are generally parasitoids, with larvae developing in the nests of other insects.
Tambiniini
Tambiniini is a tribe of planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae, subfamily Tropiduchinae, erected by George Kirkaldy in 1907. The tribe contains more than 60 species distributed across approximately 15 genera. Its members are found primarily in South Asia, Southeast Asia, eastern Australia, and Pacific islands. The type genus is Tambinia Stål, 1859.
Tholerini
Tholerini is a tribe of noctuid moths within the subfamily Noctuinae, established by Beck in 1996. The tribe contains multiple genera of medium-sized moths that are primarily nocturnal. Members of this tribe are distributed across various regions, with substantial observation records indicating ecological significance in temperate and subtropical zones. The group is taxonomically stable and recognized in major lepidopteran classifications.
Tinobregmini
Tinobregmini is a tribe of leafhoppers (Cicadellidae) established by Oman in 1949, classified within the subfamily Coelidiinae. The tribe is represented by relatively few observations, with 163 records documented on iNaturalist. As a higher-level taxon, its members share morphological characteristics typical of the Coelidiinae, though specific diagnostic features distinguishing Tinobregmini from related tribes remain poorly documented in accessible literature.
Trachelizini
primitive weevils
Trachelizini is a tribe of primitive weevils within the family Brentidae, subfamily Brentinae. The tribe contains at least 100 genera organized into nine recognized subtribes, with two additional genera currently unplaced. Members are characterized by elongated, slender body forms typical of brentid weevils. The tribe has been subject to significant taxonomic revision, with subtribal classifications established by multiple authors from 1865 to 1999.
Xylobiini
Xylobiini is a tribe of false click beetles within the family Eucnemidae, subfamily Melasinae. Members of this tribe are associated with decaying wood habitats and are part of the diverse elateriform beetle fauna. The tribe was established by Reitter in 1911 and includes genera characterized by particular morphological features of the prosternal process and antennae. Xylobiini represents one of several tribes within the predominantly saproxylic subfamily Melasinae.
Zopherini
A tribe of beetles within the family Zopheridae, characterized by heavily sclerotized bodies and a primarily New World distribution. The tribe comprises multiple genera including Noserinus, Nosoderma, Phloeodes, Sesaspis, and Verodes. A 2008 phylogenetic analysis revised the generic classification, elevated Sesaspis from synonymy, and described two new Central American species.
