Tribe Platystomini Pierce, 1916

Anthotribidae Gistel, 1856a: 375 [stem: Anthotrib-]. Type genus: Anthotribus Gistel, 1856 [preoccupied genus name, not Anthotribus Hoffmann, 1803 [ Coleoptera : Anthribidae : Anthribinae : Anthribini ]; syn. of Platystomos Schneider, 1791]. Comment: permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on preoccupied type genus.

Platystomoidea Pierce, 1916: 463, in key [stem: Platystom-]. Type genus: Platystomos Schneider, 1791. Comment: the type genus for this family-group name was in fact proposed as a replacement name for Anthribus sensu Fabricius, 1790, however it was never used in that sense subsequently (Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal 1999: 33); an application will be submitted by MAAZ and CHCL to conserve the current concept of Platystomos Schneider, 1791 and its associated family-group name.
