Opiinae Blanchard, 1845
Notes
The generic and tribal classification of opiines has been largely chaotic (
Wharton 1988b
). In Fauna Europaea, van Achterberg has enacted many taxonomic changes resulting from his work on Western Palaearctic
Opiinae
(in prep.), which are followed here. Some changes to the generic classification have been published by
Wharton (1988b)
, van Achterberg (
Achterberg 2004a
,
Achterberg 2004b
, and in
Belokobylskij et al. 2003
) and by
Li et al. (2013)
.
Wharton (1988b)
argued against recognition of tribes within
Opiinae
, except perhaps
Ademonini
(for the genus
Ademon
), with all the other genera in
Opiini
; van Achterberg (in prep.) does not recognise
Ademonini
. Some distribution data from
