Type genus: Mecopus Schoenherr , 1825. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Heyne and Taschenberg (1907: 232, as Mecopini ), generally accepted as in Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999: 111, as Mecopini ); current spelling maintained (Art. 29.5): incorrect original stem formation in prevailing usage (should be Mecopod-); if the stem is corrected, it would threaten stability of a widely used name in Orthoptera (see Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal 1999: 111).
