Subtribe
Apenina Ball, 1983
Apenina
Ball, 1983: 516. Type genus:
Apenes
LeConte, 1851.
Diversity.
About 115 species (Lorenz 2005: 464-465) in the Nearctic (eight species of
Apenes
), Neotropical (72 species of
Apenes
), Australian (one species in New Guinea), Oriental (nine species), Palaearctic (22 species), and Afrotropical (14 species) Regions. These species are arrayed in five genera:
Apenes
(75 species),
Habutarus
Ball and Hilchie (one species from New Guinea),
Cymindoidea
Laporte (15 species),
Platytarus
Fairmaire (12 species), and
Trymosternus
Chaudoir (13 species from the Iberian Peninsula and northern Africa).
Taxonomic Note.
1. The family-group names
Platytarini
and
Trymosternini
were proposed by Zaballos and Jeanne (1994: 116) and recorded as synonyms of
Apenina
by Lorenz (2005: 464). However, both names are unavailable since they were not accompanied by a description or a reference to a published description (ICZN 1999: Article 13.1). 2.
Apenina
came out as the sister-group to the remaining lebiine subtribes, with the exclusion of sugimotoinines, actenocynines, and pericalines, in Ball et al. (1995) and Casale (1998: Fig. 91) cladistic analyses.
