Tribe Eusphalerini Hatch, 1957

*Anthobiates Mulsant and Rey, 1880: 290 [stem: Anthobi-]. Type genus: Anthobium sensu Erichson, 1840 [not Anthobium Leach, 1819; syn. of Eusphalerum Kraatz, 1857]. Comment: original vernacular name unavailable (Art. 11.7.2): subsequently used in latinized form but not generally attributed to Mulsant and Rey (1880).

Anthobiini Portevin, 1929: 450 [stem: Anthobi-]. Type genus: Anthobium sensu Erichson, 1840 [not Anthobium Leach, 1819; syn. of Eusphalerum Kraatz, 1857]. Comment: based on a misidentified type genus, name treated here as invalid until an application is submitted to the Commission to suppress it for the Principle of Priority (Art. 65.2.1).

Eusphalerini Hatch, 1957: 82 [stem: Eusphaler-]. Type genus: Eusphalerum Kraatz, 1857. Comment: new name for Anthobiini ; although this is not the oldest name for the tribe, we recommend that an application be submitted to the Commission to suppress the older name Anthobiini Poertevin, 1929 because it is based on a misidentified type genus (Art. 65.2.1).
