Tribe Diplocentrini Karsch, 1880 , new rank
Type Genus. Diplocentrus Peters, 1861 View in CoL .
Composition. This tribe is established here, and corresponds to the former subfamily Diplocentrinae . It includes seven genera, with most species found in the New World.
Distribution. Asia (Middle East), North America, Caribbean, Central and South America.
Biogeographic history. The most diverse genus, Diplocentrus , includes numerous species in the deserts of North America, exhibiting an extensive arid radiation (analogous to that of Vaejovidae in North America, or Scorpioninae and Buthidae in Asia and Africa). Disjunct range of the genus Heteronebo between the Caribbean and Middle East is not yet clearly explained ( Nenilin & Fet, 1992; Lourenço & Sissom, 2000; Sissom & Fet, 2000b). Santiago-Blay & Craig (1998) reported an Oligocene Heteronebo sp. from the amber of Dominican Republic.
Diagnosis. See Prendini (2000) for details on the diagnosis of this tribe (as subfamily Diplocentrinae ).
