Bromiini (or Adoxini) is a tribe of
leaf beetles in the subfamily
Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 120 genera, which are found worldwide. They are generally thought to be an artificial group, often with a subcylindrical prothorax without lateral ridges and covered with

Nomenclature
The name "Bromiini" is conserved over the older name "Adoxini" because of Article 40(2) of the
ICZN
The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of organisms treated as animals. It is also informally known as the ICZN Code, for its publisher, the I ...
, which states: "If ... a family-group name was replaced before 1961 because of the synonymy of the type genus, the substitute name is to be maintained if it is in prevailing usage. A name maintained by virtue of this Article retains its own author but takes the priority of the replaced name, of which it is deemed to be the senior synonym."
Bromiini is cited with its own author and date, followed by the date of the replaced name in parentheses: Bromiini Baly, 1865 (1863).
Taxonomy
Following the leaf beetle classification of Seeno and Wilcox (1982), the genera of Bromiini are divided into eight informal groups or "sections": Bromiites, Leprotites, Myochroites, Nerissites, Pseudocolaspites, Scelodontites, Tomyrites and Trichochryseites. In 1993, the section Tomyrites (interpreted as the subtribe "Tomyrina") was given the replacement name "Ebooina" by C.A.M. Reid, as it was based on a preoccupied genus-group name.
In the ''Catalog of the leaf beetles of America North of Mexico'', published in 2003, Myochroites was placed in synonymy with the section Iphimeites in
Eumolpini, while Scelodontites was transferred to
