Trachelostenidae

Trachelostenini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are at least three genera in Trachelostenini.[1][2] It was historically ranked as the family Trachelostenidae,[3] but a 2015 study sunk the family into the tenebrionid (darkling beetle) subfamily Tenebrioninae.[4]

## Genera

These genera belong to the tribe Trachelostenini:

* Leaus Matthews & Lawrence, 1992 (Australasia)
* Myrmecodema Gebien, 1943 (the Neotropics)
* Trachelostenus Solier, 1851 (the Neotropics)
