Tribe MACRODACTYLINI Kirby, 1837

Original spelling and citation: Macrodactylidae Kirby 1837: 133

Type genus: Macrodactylus Dejean, 1821: 58

Remark: Philochlénides ( Lacordaire 1856: 256) was used for taxa within this tribe but was not originally Latinized and has not been subsequently Latinized and accepted as valid, therefore it is unavailable.

Synonym: Ceraspini Burmeister, 1855

Original spelling and citation: Ceraspididae Burmeister 1855: 91

Type genus: Ceraspis LePeletier and Serville, 1828: 370 ( LePeletier and Serville, 1828 a)

Synonym: Dichelonychini Burmeister, 1855

Original spelling and citation: Dichelonychidae Burmeister 1855: 70

Type genus: Dichelonyx Harris, 1827: 7

Synonym: Dicraniini Burmeister, 1855

Original spelling and citation: Dicraniadae Burmeister 1855: 65

Type genus: Dicrania LePeletier and Serville, 1828: 371 ( LePeletier and Serville, 1828 a)

Synonym: Clavipalpini Lacordaire, 1856

Original spelling and citation: Clavipalpides Lacordaire, 1856: 267

Type genus: Clavipalpus Laporte, 1832: 406 ( Laporte 1832 a) Remark: Clavipalpides ( Lacordaire 1856: 267) and Clavipalpidae / Clavipalpides ( Imhoff 1856: 12) were both used in the same year. The Imhoff (1856) paper refers to the Lacordaire (1856) paper numerous times. This is internal evidence in Imhoff (1856) that the Lacordaire (1856) paper was published first so Lacordaire should be credited with authorship of this family-group name. Although this family-group name was not originally proposed in a Latinized form it has subsequently been Latinized and should be considered available under Article 11.7.2.
