Subtribe Pericalina Hope, 1838

Pericalidae Hope, 1838: 105 (as Pericallidae ). Type genus: Pericalus Macleay, 1825.

Coptoderides Chaudoir, 1848: 116 (as Costodérides). Type genus: Coptodera Dejean, 1825.

Mormolycites Blanchard, 1845: 390. Type genus: Mormolyce Hagenbach, 1825. Synonymy established by Ball (1975: 149).

Thyreopterides Chaudoir, 1870a: 113. Type genus: Thyreopterus Dejean, 1831.

Eucheilinae Bates, 1883a: 168. Type genus: Eucheila Dejean, 1829.

Miscelini Sloane, 1907: 473. Type genus: Miscelus Klug, 1834.

Thysanotini Jeannel, 1949a: 947, 975. Type genus: Thysanotus Chaudoir, 1848.

Lobodontini Jeannel, 1949a: 1007. Type genus: Lobodontus Chaudoir, 1842.

Diversity.

Worldwide, with about 825 species arrayed in 77 genera (Lorenz 2005: 454-464). The subtribe is underrepresented in the Northern Hemisphere with about 70 species (8.5% of the world fauna), of which nine (about 1%) only occur in North America.

Identification.

Shpeley and Ball (2001) reviewed all 111 native species-group taxa found in the Western Hemisphere and provided keys for their identification. Their work is to be used in conjunction with a previous study (Ball and Shpeley 1983).

Taxonomic Note.

In a cladistic analysis based on characters of the adults performed by Ball et al. (1995: Fig. 7), this subtribe is positioned as the sister-group to { Sugimotoina + Actenonycina }. In Casale’s (1998: Fig. 91) cladistic analysis, the pericalines showed up as the sister-group to the remaining Lebiini .
