[edit]Systematics
[edit]Hyperaspidini has long been considered a tribe within the subfamily Hyperaspidinae. However, later research resulted in a new classification of the Coccinellidae, with only two (and later three) subfamilies. Under that system, the Hyperaspidini belong to the subfamily Coccinellinae. The tribes Brachiacanthini and Selvadiini were both considered synonyms of Hyperaspidini,[1] however, later authors have retained the Brachiacanthini as a valid tribe.
