Subtribes

Pedinini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are 19 known genera in Pedinini.

In research by Kamiński et al. published in 2021, the concept Pedinini has been revisited. Based on molecular evidence Helopinina, Leichenina and Pedinina were considered subtribes within a single tribe. Identification key to Pedinina has been provided by Kamiński and Iwan in 2017, while the catalog of species representing Helopinina was published by Kamiński et al. 2021.
