Familia Tenebrionidae
General information
|
|
The taxonomy of the
Tenebrionidae is
debated. Most authors include the related
families Lagriidae and
Alleculidae in the Tenebrionidae as subfamilies.
The comprehensive
phylogeny of Hunt et al. (2007) suggests that
the Alleculidae is indeed
a subfamily of Tenebrionidae and I include them
here as Alleculinae in
the Tenebrionidae. However, the Lagriidae are
only distantly related
with the Tenebrionidae within the Tenebrionoidea
and I regard them as a
separate family.
