Most members of the tribe can be recognized by their relatively large and robust bodies. A key to identify the genera of Entimini can be found in Vanin & Gaiger.[2] The Central American species are treated by Sharp & Champion,[3]
Distribution edit
The tribe ranges from Mexico to Argentina, with no representatives in the Caribbean islands.[4] All genera are mainly represented in Brazil.[5]
Genera edit
Cydianerus – Cyriophthalmus – Entimus – Phaedropus – Polyteles – Rhigus – Trachyus
