Tribe Spilophorini Chapuis, 1875

Spilophorites Chapuis, 1875: 364 [stem: Spilophor-]. Type genus: Spilophora Boheman, 1850. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Spaeth (1929a: 29, as Spilophoritae ), generally accepted as in Borowiec (1995: 553, as Spilophorini ); this name is a senior homonym of Spilophorina Krikken, 1984 (type genus Spilophorus Schaum, 1848) currently used as valid in Scarabaeidae ; this case is to be referred to the Commission to remove the homonymy (Art. 55.3.1).
