Tribe Tetropini Portevin, 1927

*Polyopsiates Mulsant, 1863b: 340 [stem: Polyopsi-]. Type genus: Polyopsia Mulsant, 1839 [syn. of Tetrops Stephens, 1829]. Comment: original vernacular name unavailable (Art. 11.7.2): not subsequently latinized.

* Tetropides Planet, 1924: 326 [stem: Tetrop-]. Type genus: Tetrops Stephens, 1829 [for comments on problems with the authorship and type species of this type genus see Bousquet et al. (2009: 38)]. Comment: original vernacular name unavailable (Art. 11.7.2): proposed after 1899; the argument of Sama (2008: 240) that Planet’s name is available, even if published after 1900 in a vernacular form, because it was used as valid in a latinized form and credited to Planet (1924) by Vives (2000: 508) is incorrect (see Bousquet et al. 2009: 38).

Tetropini Portevin, 1927: 39, in key [stem: Tetrop-]. Type genus: Tetrops Stephens, 1829 [for comments on problems with the authorship and type species of this type genus see Bousquet et al. (2009: 38)].
