ResumoThe opatrine lineage of the subfamily Tenebrioninae is redefined for the Nearctic region of North America. The genera Hyocis, Gonocephalum and Cyclosattus are not North American. The relationships of the genera Alaudes, Tonibiastes, Nocibiotes and Tonibius are discussed. Tonibius rossi Blaisdell is transferred to Nocibiotes.
