Tribes

The tribal level classification of the Lamiinae is still yet to be completely resolved. Lacordaire in the 1870s split the Lamiinae into nearly 94 tribes while the work of Bouchard et al. (2011) classified them into 80 tribes. Some tribes have been established for single genera and several genera have not been placed reliably within any tribe. Some of the tribes included below may not be valid and several have been synonymised. Taxa ''incertae sedis'': * genus '' Cerambycinus'' Münster in Germar, 1839 * genus '' Cypriola'' J. Thomson, 1865 * genus '' Decellia'' Breuning, 1968 * genus '' Dorcadionoides'' Motschulsky, 1857 * genus '' Falsozeargyra'' Gilmour & Breuning, 1963 * genus '' Heteropalpoides'' Fisher, 1935 * genus '' Paralamiodorcadion'' Breuning, 1967 * genus '' Parmenops'' Schaufuss, 1891 * genus '' Prosoplus'' * genus '' Pterolophiella'' Breuning, 1952 * species '' Lamia bidens'' Fabricius, 1775 * species '' Lamia petrificata'' Heyden & Heyden, 1856 * species '' Lamia schroeteri'' Giebel, 1856
