“…Previous to this study the Zopherini contained 8 genera (sensu The true authorship and type species of Nosoderma Guérin-Méneville has recently been established (Foley and Ivie 2007), and its use restricted to those species previously placed in Meralius Casey. The replacement name Verodes Casey was proposed for those species formerly placed in Nosoderma sensu Solier not Guérin-Méneville (Foley and Ivie 2007), and that dramatically changed nomenclature is followed here.…”

“…Notes: The species Nosoderma furcatus Kirsch 1866 was stated to resemble Scoriaderma cordicolle (Fairmaire 1894b), but was placed in Meralius by without comment. Meralius furcatus (Kirsch) does not fit the definition of the genus (sensu Ð lipi½ski and Lawrence 1999; now considered a synonym of Nosoderma, Foley and Ivie 2007) and is incorrectly placed. It differs from true Nosoderma Guérin-Méneville species most obviously in having a large scutellum and lacking a groove on the prosternum which is only broadly depressed.…”

“…This species was placed in Noserus LeConte by Doyen and Lawrence (1979), Phloeodes LeConte by Ð lipi½ski and Lawrence (1999), and Nosoderma Solier (not Guérin-Méneville) by García-París et al (2006). To confuse the issue even more, the correct authorship and type species of Nosoderma Guérin-Méneville was recently determined (Foley and Ivie 2007), which, if the classification of García-París et al (2006) is followed, results in an additional change in the generic combination to Verodes Casey. Obviously, the taxonomic history of the tribe is very confusing, and hopefully, this paper will clear up, rather than add to, the confusion within the ironclad beetles.…”

“…Therefore, all named and unnamed species of the Zopherini (excluding the recently revised and well-defined genus Zopherus Gray, represented by exemplars) were reevaluated based on type specimens and all available museum material, using morphological characters. This resulted in a reclassification of the genera, including the elevation from synonymy of Sesaspis Casey, several changes in the species assigned to various genera, and correct usage of Nosoderma Guérin-Méneville (=Meralius Casey of Ð lipi½ski and Lawrence 1999, see Foley and Ivie 2007). Of the 21 species of Zopherini with 10-segmented antennae (Nosodermini of Casey 1907b) recognized here that were known when Ð lipi½ski and Lawrence (1999) revised the genera of Zopheridae, only 6 remain in the generic combinations they recognized.…”

A morphology-based phylogenetic analysis of all known species (excluding the well-revised Zopherus Gray) of the tribe Zopherini was performed. The genus Sesaspis Casey is elevated from synonymy, redescribed and two new species are described from Central America, Sesaspis ashei NEW SPECIES and Sesaspis triplehorni NEW SPECIES. The following NEW COMBINATIONS are proposed: Noserinus furcatus (Kirsch), Phloeodes venustus (Champion), Sesaspis emarginata (Horn), Sesaspis lutosa (Champion), Sesaspis sylvatica (García-París et al.), and Sesaspis doyeni (García-París et al.). The following NEW SYNONYMIES are proposed: Phloeodes pustulosus LeConte of Phloeodes diabolicus LeConte, Nosoderma prominens Casey, Nosoderma senex Casey, Nosoderma brevicollis Casey, and Nosoderma subglabrus Casey of Eurychora inaequale Say as Verodes inaequalis (Say), Nosoderma insigne Champion of Nosoderma interruptum Champion as Verodes interruptus (Champion), Noserodes squalidus Casey of Nosoderma guatemalense Champion as Verodes guatemalensis (Champion), Scoriaderma congolense Fairmaire of Nosoderma scabrosum Solier as Verodes scabrosus (Solier), and Scoriaderma comoriense Fairmaire of S. cordicolle Waterhouse. A revised key to the world genera is provided, as well as keys to all species of the tribe, save those of Zopherus, including the multispecies genera Noserinus Casey, Nosoderma Guérin-Méneville, Phloeodes LeConte, Sesaspis Casey, and Verodes Casey. A synoptic catalog of the described species is provided, with brief comments on the taxonomic histories of the tribe, genera, and species. All recognized species are illustrated and diagnosed, with information on their types, taxonomic history and geographic distributions.

“…It was made the type species of Verodes by Casey (1907). Since Nosoderma Solier is a junior homonym, the name currently accepted for this genus is Verodes Casey (Foley & Ivie 2007). Verodes aequalis was described from a unique specimen from "Mexico, Parada (Sallé)".…”

We synthesize data on all known extant and fossil Coleoptera family-group names for the first time. A catalogue of 4887 family-group names (124 fossil, 4763 extant) based on 4707 distinct genera in Coleoptera is given. A total of 4492 names are available, 183 of which are permanently invalid because they are based on a preoccupied or a suppressed type genus. Names are listed in a classification framework. We recognize as valid 24 superfamilies, 211 families, 541 subfamilies, 1663 tribes and 740 subtribes. For each name, the original spelling, author, year of publication, page number, correct stem and type genus are included. The original spelling and availability of each name were checked from primary literature. A list of necessary changes due to Priority and Homonymy problems, and actions taken, is given. Current usage of names was conserved, whenever possible, to promote stability of the classification.New synonymies (family-group names followed by genus-group names): Agronomina Gistel, 1848 syn. nov. of Amarina Zimmermann, 1832 (Carabidae), Hylepnigalioini Gistel, 1856 syn. nov. of Melandryini Leach, 1815 (Melandryidae), Polycystophoridae Gistel, 1856 syn. nov. of Malachiinae Fleming, 1821 (Melyridae), Sclerasteinae Gistel, 1856 syn. nov. of Ptilininae Shuckard, 1839 (Ptinidae), Phloeonomini Ádám, 2001 syn. nov. of Omaliini MacLeay, 1825 (Staphylinidae), Sepedophilini Ádám, 2001 syn. nov. of Tachyporini MacLeay, 1825 (Staphylinidae), Phibalini Gistel, 1856 syn. nov. of Cteniopodini Solier, 1835 (Tenebrionidae); Agronoma Gistel 1848 (type species Carabus familiaris Duftschmid, 1812, designated herein) syn. nov. of Amara Bonelli, 1810 (Carabidae), Hylepnigalio Gistel, 1856 (type species Chrysomela caraboides Linnaeus, 1760, by monotypy) syn. nov. of Melandrya Fabricius, 1801 (Melandryidae), Polycystophorus Gistel, 1856 (type species Cantharis aeneus Linnaeus, 1758, designated herein) syn. nov. of Malachius Fabricius, 1775 (Melyridae), Sclerastes Gistel, 1856 (type species Ptilinus costatus Gyllenhal, 1827, designated herein) syn. nov. of Ptilinus Geoffroy, 1762 (Ptinidae), Paniscus Gistel, 1848 (type species Scarabaeus fasciatus Linnaeus, 1758, designated herein) syn. nov. of Trichius Fabricius, 1775 (Scarabaeidae), Phibalus Gistel, 1856 (type species Chrysomela pubescens Linnaeus, 1758, by monotypy) syn. nov. of Omophlus Dejean, 1834 (Tenebrionidae). The following new replacement name is proposed: Gompeliina Bouchard, 2011 nom. nov. for Olotelina Báguena Corella, 1948 (Aderidae).Reversal of Precedence (Article 23.9) is used to conserve usage of the following names (family-group names followed by genus-group names): Perigonini Horn, 1881 nom. protectum over Trechicini Bates, 1873 nom. oblitum (Carabidae), Anisodactylina Lacordaire, 1854 nom. protectum over Eurytrichina LeConte, 1848 nom. oblitum (Carabidae), Smicronychini Seidlitz, 1891 nom. protectum over Desmorini LeConte, 1876 nom. oblitum (Curculionidae), Bagoinae Thomson, 1859 nom. protectum over Lyprinae Gistel 1848 nom. oblitum (Curculionidae), Aterpina ...
