Nomenclature
The names for this subfamily and the tribe Cachoplistini, are based on Saussure's genus "Cachoplistus" and priority for family-group names based on his use of "Cachoplistites". The agreed type genus is Cacoplistes, but "Cacoplistinae" has been superseded; the first use of Cachoplistinae was by Chopard.Tribes and Genera
