Tribe Megacephalini Laporte, 1834

Megacephalidae Laporte, 1834b: 33 [stem: Megacephal-]. Type genus: Megacephala Latreille, 1802.

Oxycheilites J. Thomson, 1857a: 17 [stem: Oxycheil-]. Type genus: Oxycheila Dejean, 1825. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Chaudoir (1861a: 326, as Oxychilini [incorrect stem formation]), generally accepted as in Fleutiaux (1892a: 13, as Oxychilini [incorrect stem formation]); the stem Oxychil - should not be used for this taxon in order to avoid homonymy with Oxychilini Hesse, 1927 (type genus Oxychilus Fitzinger 1833), currently being used as valid in Mollusca.

Platychilidae W. Horn, 1893: 325 [stem: Platychil-]. Type genus: Platychile W. S. MacLeay, 1825.
