Tribe Tetrabrachini Kapur, 1948

Lithophilidae Imhoff, 1856: [2] 151 [stem: Lithophil-]. Type genus: Lithophilus Fröhlich, 1799 [preoccupied genus name, not Lithophilus Schneider, 1791 [ Coleoptera : Carabidae ]; syn. of Tetrabrachys Kapur, 1948]. Comment: permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on preoccupied type genus.

Tetrabrachinae Kapur, 1948: 320 [stem: Tetrabrach-]. Type genus: Tetrabrachys Kapur, 1948. Comment: replacement name for Lithophilinae Imhoff, 1856 because of the homonymy of the type genus; current spelling maintained (Art. 29.5): incorrect stem formation in prevailing usage (should be Tetrabrache-).
