Subtribe Microcephalina Tschitscherine, 1898 View in CoL

Microcephalides Tschitschérine, 1898: 46 [stem: Microcephal-]. Type genus: Microcephalus Dejean, 1828. Comment: the older name Microcephali Latreille, 1825: 345 is unavailable (Art. 11.7.1.1) because it is not based on an available generic name [descriptive name for a group of Staphylinidae including Tachyporus and other genera with relatively small heads].

Tichoniini Semenov, 1904a: 201 [stem: Tichoni-]. Type genus: Tichonia Semenov, 1904 [preoccupied genus name, not Tichonia Hübner, 1826 [ Lepidoptera ]; syn. of Microcephalus Dejean, 1828]. Comment: replacement name for Microcephalini Tschitschérine, 1898 because of the homonymy of the type genus; permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on preoccupied type genus.

Tichonillina Emden, 1958: 24 [stem: Tichonill-]. Type genus: Tichonilla Strand, 1942 [syn. of Microcephalus Dejean, 1828].
