Diagnosis. Moderately large to small beetles with dorsal surfaces setose and usually bearing stiff bristles. Head: eyes coarsely facetted, deeply emarginate to divided; frontoclypeus in front of antennae short, distinctly sloping; frontoclypeal suture visible. Antennal insertions close to mandibular articulations, on raised tubercles; antennal foramen lateral with thin rim bearing external articulation. Antennae long, filiform without spines; antennal scape shorter than length of pronotum. Prothorax with lateral projection or spine; procoxal cavities transverse with lateral expansions; externally open; procoxae projecting below prosternal process, very narrowly separated; protrochantin exposed. Mesocoxal cavities externally open to mesepimeron; mesocoxae without secondary articulation; mesotrochantin visible.

Remarks. We were able to examine mostly Australian representatives of this tribe and cannot comment on the status of the New Zealand or South American taxa; however, based on the description and illustrations in Lu & Wang (2005) the New Zealand Ophryops White should be removed from Phlyctaenodini to Callidiopini as Ophryops has long non-spinose antennae and sunken antennal insertions, with an internal articulation point, as are found in the Callidiopini .
