@PeterR: why we prefer Microhoriini instead of Microhorini? See eg https://www.biolib.cz/cz/taxon/id14434/ --Estopedist1 (talk) 05:27, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PeterR based it on the {{Kejval & Chandler, 2020}} reference linked in the page. "Microhoriini" is also used in the list of beetle family-group names found in {{Bouchard et al., 2011}}, so it is probably the correct spelling; it is based on the genus name Microhoria so the family-group name has the stem Microhori-. Biolib.cz meanwhile gets its information from other sources including Wikipedia, from what I'm aware, so it should not be used a reference for currently accepted names as the information in it may not be reliable/up-to-date.

Bouchard et al. also indicates that "Microhorini" was the original spelling for the tribe, but that spelling is no longer in use. Monster Iestyn (talk) 09:02, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
