The Pachybrachini are a tribe within the leaf beetle subfamily Cryptocephalinae, described by Chapuis, 1874. [1] [2] They were formerly classified as the subtribe Pachybrachina within the tribe Cryptocephalini. In a molecular analysis published in 2021, Cryptocephalini including Pachybrachina was recovered as paraphyletic, so the authors separated Pachybrachina from Cryptocephalini as a separate tribe. [1]
