Tribe Epicautini Parker and Boeving, 1924

Macrobases J. L. LeConte, 1862: 272 [stem: Macrobase-]. Type genus: Macrobasis J. L. LeConte, 1862 [subgenus of Epicauta Dejean, 1834]. Comment: incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage.

Apterospastides Wellman, 1910: 221 [stem: Apterospast-]. Type genus: Apterospasta J. L. LeConte, 1862 [syn. of Macrobasis J. L. LeConte, 1862].

Epicautini Parker and Böving, 1924: 25 [stem: Epicaut-]. Type genus: Epicauta Dejean, 1834. Comment: family-group name previously attributed to Denier (1935); this name is threatened by the two older names Macrobaseini J. L. LeConte, 1862 and Apterospastini Wellman, 1910; to maintain nomenclatural stability, we believe that an application should be submitted to the Commission to conserve usage of the well-established name Epicautini .

*Henoini Böving and Craighead, 1931: 79 [stem: Heno-]. Type genus: Henous Haldeman, 1852 [syn. of Epicauta Dejean, 1834]. Comment: unavailable family-group name, proposed after 1930 without description or bibliographic reference to such a description (Art. 13.1).
