Tribe Cleomenini Lacordaire, 1868

Cleomenides Lacordaire, 1868: 405 [stem: Cleomen-]. Type genus: Cleomenes J. Thomson, 1864. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Pascoe (1869b: 554, as Cleomeninae ), generally accepted as in Adlbauer et al. (2010: 163, as Cleomenini ); this name was incorrectly credited to Pascoe (1869) by Bousquet et al. (2009: 55); we treat this group as a valid tribe as in Adlbauer et al. (2010: 163).
