Subtribe Blaptina Leach, 1815

Blapsida Leach, 1815: 101 [stem: Blapt-]. Type genus: Blaps Fabricius, 1775. Comment: although the original stem formation ( Blaps -) was correct, the stem Blapt - has been used since it was first used by C. G. Thomson (1859: 114, as Blaptidae ) and is also used here; an application to the Commission is needed to conserve the current spelling.
