Type of tribe

Ernoporus Thomson, 1859 .

Diagnosis

Eye entire, rarely broadly emarginated. Antennae with three to five funicle segments. Postnotum fused with metanotum. Penis apodemes short and fused.

Female

Eye entire, oval (rarely with a weak emargination in species with disproportionally large eyes). Antennal funicle with three to five funicle segments (usually four). Antennal club flattened, sometimes with a single complete or partial septum. Third tarsal segment cylindrical. Basal margin of elytra smooth, rounded. Elytral apex typically vertical. Vestiture typically with many scale-like setae.

Male

Similar to female, sometimes indistinguishable externally. Rarely with sexually dimorphic frons or pronotal declivity. Penis apodemes shorter than penis body, fused at the apex. Tegmen open dorsally.

Distribution

Worldwide, but very few species and genera in the Americas.

Remarks

The original description for the higher classification was based on only one species, Ernoporus tiliae . The description of the new tribe was based solely on the characters of the nonsclerotized structures of the male reproductive system, which were not studied here.
