Subfamily Melaeninae Csiki, 1933

Coscinides Chaudoir, 1876b: 115 [stem: Coscini-]. Type genus: Coscinia Dejean, 1831 [preoccupied genus name, not Coscinia Hübner, 1819 [ Lepidoptera ]; syn. of Cymbionotum Baudi, 1864]. Comment: permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on preoccupied type genus; incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage.

Granigerini Bedel, 1900: 24 [stem: Graniger-]. Type genus: Graniger sensu Chaudoir, 1876 [not Graniger Motschulsky, 1864; syn. of Cymbionotum Baudi, 1864]. Comment: based on a misidentified type genus; an application will need to be submitted to the Commission to suppress this name for the Principles of Priority and Homonymy (Art. 65.2.1) if Granigerini Antoine, 1959 in Harpalinae : Harpalini : Harpalina is to be used as valid in the future.

Melaeninae Csiki, 1933: 1650 [stem: Melaen-]. Type genus: Melaenus Dejean, 1831. Comment: published 26 May 1933; name proposed after 1930 without description or bibliographic reference to such a description (Art. 13.1), however available because it was used as valid before 2000 as in Lorenz (1998b: 149) and was not rejected by an author who, between 1961 and 1999, applied Article 13 of the then current edition of the Code (see Art. 13.2.1).

Cymbionotini Andrewes, 1933: 3 [stem: Cymbionot-]. Type genus: Cymbionotum Baudi di Selve, 1864. Comment: published 30 June 1933.
