Tribe
Spilophorini Chapuis, 1875
Spilophorites
Chapuis, 1875: 364 [stem: Spilophor-]. Type genus:
Spilophora
Boheman, 1850. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Spaeth (1929a: 29, as
Spilophoritae
), generally accepted as in Borowiec (1995: 553, as
Spilophorini
); this name is a senior homonym of
Spilophorina
Krikken, 1984 (type genus
Spilophorus
Schaum, 1848) currently used as valid in
Scarabaeidae
; this case is to be referred to the Commission to remove the homonymy (Art. 55.3.1).
