Tribe Trachyscelini Blanchard, 1845

Trachyscelides Blanchard, 1845b: 28 [stem: Trachyscel-]. Type genus: Trachyscelis Latreille, 1809. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by G. R. Waterhouse (1858: 60, as Trachyscelidae ), generally accepted as in Bouchard et al. (2005: 503, as Trachyscelini ); current spelling maintained (Art. 29.5): incorrect stem formation in prevailing usage (should be Trachyscelid-); conservation of the original stem avoids potential homonymy with family-group names based on the type genus Trachyscelida G. H. Horn, 1893 in Chrysomelidae .
