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.
