Tribe ORPHNINI Erichson, 1847

Original spelling and citation: Orphnidae Erichson 1847 a: 111

Type genus: Orphnus MacLeay, 1819: 119

Remark: Hybalites ( Jacquelin du Val and Fairmaire 1859: 31) was used for taxa within this tribe but this family-group name was not originally Latinized and has not been subsequently Latinized and accepted as valid, therefore it is unavailable. From the context of Jacquelin du Val and Fairmaire (1859), all their ‘‘Groupe’’ names are French vernacular names (some have accents) even though they have the ‘‘–ites’’ suffix.
