A comparative study of male genitalia in Opatrinae sensu Medvedev [1968] [Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae:], with notes on the reinterpreted tribal classification. Part II.

A division of the group of genera of the former subfamily Opatrinae (sensu Koch 1956 and Medvedev 1968) into 2 tribes: Opatrini and Pedinini is proposed, based on the structure of male genitalia and trochanter/femur. The two tribes are members of Tenebrioninae, according to the current classification of Tenebrionidae proposed by Lawrence and Newton (1995). Structural characters of the genera of Dissonomini (Aphaleria Reitter, Dissonomus Jacquelin du Val) and Melanimini (Cheirodes Gené, Melanimon Steven, Dolamara Reichardt), and genera Edylius Champion, Stenolamus Gebien and Anophthalmolamus Ferrer make it impossible to include them in either Opatrini or Pedinini; however it is proposed to include the subtribe Eleodiina in the tribe Pedinini.
