Tribe Macronini Lacordaire, 1868

Enchapteritae J. Thomson, 1861: 151 [stem: Enchopter-]. Type genus: Enchoptera Saunders, 1850 [as Enchaptera , incorrect subsequent spelling type genus name, not in prevailing usage]. Comment: incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage; this name has precedence over Macronini Lacordaire, 1868 but has not been used as a valid name after 1899 to our knowledge, although we were unable to find 25 references to conserve usage of Macronini (Art. 23.9.2), we believe the name Macronini should be conserved for this group and an application should be submitted to the Commission (Art. 23.9.3).

Macronides Lacordaire, 1868: 414 [stem: Macron-]. Type genus: Macrones Newman, 1841. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Pascoe (1871: 268, as Macroninae ), generally accepted as in Aurivillius (1912: 153, as Macronini ); although this is not the oldest name for the tribe, we recommend that an application be submitted to the Commission to conserve usage of the well-established name Macronini Lacordaire, 1868.
