Subtribe Rhinostomina Kuschel

Rhinidae LeConte, 1874: 466 View in CoL (type genus: Rhina Latreille, 1806 View in CoL , non Schneider, 1801) (not available, based on homonymic genus name).

Rhininae ; LeConte & Horn, 1883: 507 (not available, based on homonymic genus name).

Rhinini; Leng, 1920: 336 (not available, based on homonymic genus name).

Rhinostomini Kuschel, 1995: 24 (type genus: Rhinostomus Rafinesque, 1815 ).

Rhinostomina ; Anderson, 2002b: 729.

Diagnosis. Members of the subtribe Rhinostomina are easily recognised by their mandibles curving outwards, the pronotum usually lacking postocular lobes (feeble in R. frontalis ; incorrectly reported as absent by Vaurie 1970 a and Morrone & Cuevas 2002), the tibiae usually being dentate and tarsite 3 bilobed.

Taxa included. A single pantropical genus, Rhinostomus , with eight species: six distributed in the Neotropics (one of them extending to the southern Nearctic), one in tropical Africa and one in the Oriental region ( Vaurie 1970 a, Morrone & Cuevas 2002).

Host plants. Agavaceae ( R. frontalis ) and Arecaceae (remaining species).
