Introduction

For introduction to the subfamily, diagnosis and a key to genera occurring in Australia, see Slipinski & Escalona (2016).



A revision of the tribal-level classification (based on phylogenetic analyses) within the Cerambycinae was conducted by Jin et al. (2022). The study resulted in substantial movement of genera across several tribes. However, the authors noted that they were unable to resolve relationships within the tribes Callidiopini, Hesperophanini, Phlyctaenodini and Tessarommatini, and that further sampling, specifically for Pacific and Chilean taxa, was necessary for further progress.
