In research by Kamiński et al. published in 2021, the concept Pedinini has been revisited. Based on molecular evidence Helopinina, Leichenina and Pedinina were considered subtribes within a single tribe [1] . Identification key to Pedinina has been provided by Kamiński and Iwan in 2017 [5] , while the catalog of species representing Helopinina was published by Kamiński et al. 2021 [6] .
