Tribe Zuphiini Bonelli, 1810 View in CoL View at ENA

Zuphietae Bonelli, 1810: Tabula Synoptica. Type genus: Zuphium Latreille, 1805.

Diversity.

Worldwide, with about 290 species (Lorenz 2005: 504-507, excluding Planetina ) arrayed in 20 genera. The tribe is represented in the Northern Hemisphere by about 65 species (22% of the world fauna). Three subtribes are recognized: Leleupidiina (about 90 species in the Old World and the Australian Region), Zuphiina (about 200 species), and Dicrodontina (three species endemic to the Canary Islands).

Taxonomic Note.

The planetines are included in this tribe by Lorenz (2005: 507). However Basilewsky (1963b), Reichardt (1967), Ball (1985), and Baehr (1986) presented arguments suggesting that planetines are probably more closely related to galeritines than to zuphiines.
