There are 19 known genera in Pedinini. In research by [Kamiński](/source/Marcin_Jan_Kami%C5%84ski) 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](/source/Marcin_Jan_Kami%C5%84ski) and Iwan in 2017,{{Cite journal |last=Kamiński |first=Marcin Jan |last2=Iwan |first2=Dariusz |date=September 2017 |title=Revision of the Subtribe Pedinina (Tenebrionidae: Pedinini) |url=http://www.bioone.org/doi/10.3161/00034541ANZ2017.67.3.006 |journal=Annales Zoologici |language=en |volume=67 |issue=3 |pages=585–607 |doi=10.3161/00034541ANZ2017.67.3.006 |issn=0003-4541|url-access=subscription }} while the catalog of species representing Helopinina was published by [Kamiński](/source/Marcin_Jan_Kami%C5%84ski) et al. 2021.{{Cite journal |last=Kamiński |first=Marcin Jan |last2=Lumen |first2=Ryan |last3=Müller |first3=Ruth |last4=Kanda |first4=Kojun |last5=Robiche |first5=Gérard |last6=Smith |first6=Aaron Dennis |date=2021-12-07 |title=Illustrated Catalog of the Subtribe Helopinina Lacordaire (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Blaptinae: Pedinini) |url=https://bioone.org/journals/the-coleopterists-bulletin/volume-75/issue-3/0010-065X-75.3.537/Illustrated-Catalog-of-the-Subtribe-Helopinina-Lacordaire-Coleoptera--Tenebrionidae/10.1649/0010-065X-75.3.537.full |journal=The Coleopterists Bulletin |volume=75 |issue=3 |doi=10.1649/0010-065x-75.3.537 |issn=0010-065X}} ==Genera== These genera belong to the tribe Pedinini: {{Div col|colwidth=29em}} * ''[Amatodes](/source/Amatodes)'' Dejean, 1834 (tropical Africa) * ''[Ametrocera](/source/Ametrocera)'' Fåhraeus, 1870 (tropical Africa) * ''[Anaxius](/source/Anaxius)'' Fåhraeus, 1870 (tropical Africa) * ''[Apsheronellus](/source/Apsheronellus)'' Bogatchev, 1967 (the Palearctic) * ''[Aptila](/source/Aptila)'' Fåhraeus, 1870 (tropical Africa) * ''[Asidodema](/source/Asidodema)'' Koch, 1958 (tropical Africa) * ''[Blastarnodes](/source/Blastarnodes)'' Koch, 1958 (tropical Africa) * ''[Cabirutus](/source/Cabirutus)'' Strand, 1929 (the Palearctic and Indomalaya) * ''[Colpotinus](/source/Colpotinus)'' Fairmaire, 1891 (the Palearctic) * ''[Diestecopus](/source/Diestecopus)'' Solier, 1848 (tropical Africa) * ''[Drosochrus](/source/Drosochrus)'' Erichson, 1843 (the Palearctic and tropical Africa) * ''[Leichenum](/source/Leichenum)'' Dejean, 1834 (North America, the Palearctic, Indomalaya, Australasia, and Oceania) * ''[Loensus](/source/Loensus)'' R.
