Subtribe Anisodactylina Lacordaire, 1854

Eurytrichini LeConte, 1847: 376 [nomen oblitum, see Bouchard et al. (2011: 128, 837-839)]. Type genus: Eurytrichus LeConte, 1847 (= Anisotarsus Chaudoir, 1837). Note. Family-group name based on a type genus considered to be a junior synonym is not to be replaced (ICZN 1999: Article 40.1) unless it was replaced before 1961 and the replacement name is in prevailing usage (ICZN 1999: Article 40.2). In this case, the replacement name, Anisotarsi Csiki, 1932, is not in prevailing usage and so Eurytrichini LeConte, 1847 is the oldest available name for this subtribe.

Anisodactylides Lacordaire, 1854: 257, 268 [nomen protectum]. Type genus: Anisodactylus Dejean, 1829.

Anisotarsi Csiki, 1932a: 1039 [replacement name for Eurytrichini ]. Type genus: Anisotarsus Chaudoir, 1837.

Diversity.

Worldwide, with about 345 species arrayed in 30 genera (Lorenz 2005: 348-353). The North American fauna is represented by 48 species (about 14% of the world fauna).

Taxonomic Note.

Ball and Bousquet (2000: 90), following Noonan (1973: 388), recognized two genus-groups among the North American taxa, the Notiobii (an unavailable name; referred to as the "Notiobioid main branch" by Noonan) for the genus Notiobia and Anisodactyli ("Anisodactyloid main branch" of Noonan) for all remaining genera.
