Amphidorini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are six genera in Amphidorini. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

In research by Kamiński et al. published in 2021, Amphidorini and six other tribes were moved from Tenebrioninae into the newly resurrected subfamily Blaptinae. These tribes contained 281 genera and about 4000 species, about 50% of Tenebrioninae. The new classification was followed by Bouchard et al. the same year. [5] [3]

In 2022, Johnston et al. removed the South American genus Nycterinus from Amiphidorini, it is now placed in incertae sedis within Tenebrinoninae. [6]
