Platynotini
Platynotini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are more than 70 genera in Platynotini. In research by Kamiński et al. published in 2021, Platynotini 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. Genera These genera belong to the tribe Platynotini: * '' Adamus'' Iwan, 1997 (Indomalaya) * '' Alaetrinus'' Iwan, 1995 (North America and the Neotropics) * '' Amblychirus'' Koch, 1956 (tropical Africa) * '' Anchophthalmops'' Koch, 1956 (North America and Indomalaya) * '' Anchophthalmus'' Gerstaecker, 1854 (tropical Africa) * '' Angolositus'' Koch, 1955 (tropical Africa) * '' Anomalipus'' Guérin-Méneville, 1831 (tropical Africa) * '' Atrocrates'' Koch, 1956 (tropical Africa) * '' Atrocrypticanus'' Iwan, 1999 (tropical Africa) * '' Bantodemus ...
