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

, while Scelodontites was transferred to Typophorini. Of the genera formerly placed in Myochroites, '' Glyptoscelis'' and '' Myochrous'' were transferred to Iphimeites in Eumolpini, '' Colaspidea'' was transferred to Leprotites, while the placement of the remaining genera was not determined.
