Subfamily Anchytarsinae Champion, 1897

Coloboderides Erichson, 1847a: 174 [stem: Coloboder-]. Type genus: Colobodera Klug, 1838 [syn. of Daemon Laporte, 1836].

Anchytarsini Champion, 1897: 593 [stem: Anchytars-]. Type genus: Anchytarsus Guérin-Méneville, 1843. Comment: Coloboderinae Erichson, 1847 is the oldest name for this tribe, however since Coloboderinae has not been used as valid after 1899 to our knowledge, we believe that usage of Anchytarsinae Champion, 1897 should be conserved and an application be submitted to the Commission to suppress the older name.

*Epilichadinae Lawrence and Stribling, 1992: 19 [stem: Epilichad-]. Type genus: Epilichas A. White, 1859. Comment: although Ivie (2002: 136) treated this name as available we do not believe that requirements of Art. 13.1 were met and we therefore treat this name here as unavailable.
