Scydmaeninae

Nearly all the genera in the subfamily Scydmaeninae are in need of revision. Many have numerous undescribed species and/or have not been treated in the last 50–100 years. Until genera are revised identification to species will remain difficult or impossible. See O’Keefe (2001) (and references therein) and Grebennikov and Newton (2009) for up-to-date literature on the subfamily.
