Spermophagini Borowiec, 1987: 27 [stem: Spermophag-]. Type genus: Spermophagus Schönherr, 1833. Comment: family-group name proposed as new without reference to Spermophagidae Crotch, 1873; an application needs to be submitted to the Commission to suppress Spermophagidae Crotch, 1873 (based on the misidentified type genus Spermophagus sensu Horn, 1873) for the Principles of Priority and Homonymy (Art. 65.2.1) to conserve this name as valid.
