Type genus: Ripiphorus sensu Fabricius, 1792 [as Rhipiphorus , incorrect subsequent spelling of the type genus name, not in prevailing usage; not Ripiphorus Bosc, 1791; syn. of Metoecus Dejean, 1834]. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form and generally accepted as in Gerstaecker (1855: 17, as Rhipiphorini [incorrect stem formation]); based on a misidentified type genus; name treated here as invalid until an application is submitted to the Commission to suppress it for the Principles of Priority and Homonymy (Art. 65.2.1); also see Ripiphorini Gemminger, 1870. Macrosiagonini L. Heyden, 1908: 45 [stem: Macrosiagon-]. Type genus: Macrosiagon Hentz, 1830. Comment: although this is not the oldest name for the tribe, we recommend that an application be sent to the Commission to suppress Ripiphorini Laporte, 1840 because it is based on a misidentified type genus (Art. 65.2.1).
