Tribe EUGONINI Lacordaire, 1866 , stat. res.

Remarks. The tribe Eugonini was reduced to a synonym of the tribe Basitropidini ( Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal, 2002) when Valentine (1999) included the genus Eugonus Schoenherr, 1833 in the latter tribe. One of the most important features separating the tribes of the family Anthribidae is the position and shape of the antennal scrobes ( Morimoto, 1972). The sulciform scrobes are common to both tribes, but the Eugonini have dorso-lateral, antennal scrobes contiguous with eyes while the Basitropidini have latero-ventral antennal scrobes distant from the eye. The Eugonini differ from the tribe Corrhecerini by the foveiform scrobes and the lateral carina of the pronotum that extends to the anterior margin. The genera Corrhecerus Schoenherr, 1826 , Nemotrichus Labram and Imhoff, 1838 , and Phaenithon Schoenherr, 1826 are placed in the tribe Corrhecerini .
