Tribe Dorcadionini Swainson, 1840

Dorcadioninae Swainson, 1840: 290 [stem: Dorcadi-]. Type genus: Dorcadion Dalman, 1817. Comment: this family-group name was incorrectly credited to Swainson and Shuckard (1840) by Bousquet et al. (2009: 29); current spelling maintained (Art. 29.5): incorrect original stem formation in prevailing usage (should be Dorcadi-; see Vives and Alonso-Zarazaga 2000: 659); tribe placed in synonymy with Lamiini by Sama (2008: 233).

Dorcadodiidae Gistel, 1856a: 376 [stem: Dorcadodi-]. Type genus: Dorcadodium Gistel, 1856 [this name is a senior synonym of Carinatodorcadion Breuning, 1943 (see Vives and Alonso-Zarazaga 2000: 659 for type species designation of Dorcadodium Gistel); we could not find enough references to treat Dorcadodium Gistel, 1856 as a nomen oblitum, however we believe that an application should be submitted to the Commission to preserve usage of Carinatodorcadion Breuning, 1943].
