Oedemerinae


Oedemerinae are a subfamily of the false blister beetles, also known as pollen-feeding beetles. The Nacerdinae are sometimes merged here.
The phylogeny of this family is not robustly deduced in detail. While traditionally three tribes are accepted, one is considered monotypic and another has only two genera. Though this may well be warranted, the evolutionary relationships the Oedemerinae are generally in need of review, particularly considering the number of genera treated as basal or of entirely uncertain placement.
