Subtribe Scaritina Bonelli, 1810 View in CoL

Scaritides Bonelli, 1810: Tabula Synoptica. Type genus: Scarites Fabricius, 1775.

Diversity.

Worldwide, with about 445 species arrayed in 37 genera. The tribe is much more diversified in term of species (about 51% of the world fauna) in the Afrotropical (particularly on Madagascar) than anywhere else. The Western Hemisphere has only four endemic genus-group taxa: Antilliscaris Bänninger (four West Indian species), Baenningeria Reichardt (two species on the Galápagos), Glyptogrus Bates (seven Neotropical species), and Taeniolobus Chaudoir (about 40 Neotropical species). The Nearctic (with seven species) and Australian (with 12 species) Regions are underrepresented.
