Subtribe Cerapterina Billberg, 1820

Cerapterides Billberg, 1820a: 47 [stem: Cerapter-]. Type genus: Cerapterus Swederus, 1788.

Megalopaussinae Wasmann, 1920: 111 [stem: Megalopauss-]. Type genus: Megalopaussus Lea, 1906.

*Arthropterinen Kolbe, 1927b: 211 [stem: Arthropter-]. Type genus: Arthropterus W. S. MacLeay, 1838. Comment: original vernacular name unavailable (Art. 11.7.2): proposed after 1899.

Arthropterini Wasmann, 1928: 274 [stem: Arthropter-]. Type genus: Arthropterus W. S. MacLeay, 1838. Comment: Arthropteridae Fieber, 1861 has been used in Hemiptera but it is not based on a genus and is therefore unavailable; Arthropterini Wasmann, 1928 is a junior homonym of Arthropteridae Jordan, 1923 proposed in Pisces (type genus Arthropterus Agassiz, 1843, preoccupied genus name replaced by Arthrobatis Whitley 1940); the Pisces name is permanently invalid since its type genus is a junior homonym; an application to the Commission is needed to conserve the Coleoptera name if it is to be used as valid.

*Mesarthropterina Nagel, 1987: 60 [stem: Mesarthropter-]. Type genus: Mesarthropterus Wasmann, 1926. Comment: unavailable family-group name, proposed after 1930 without description or bibliographic reference to such a description (Art. 13.1).
