Abstract
Earlier classifications of the Megalonotinae are discussed. Based in most part upon characters of the nymphal stages, modifications in the tribal classification are proposed. The Drymini and the Lethaeini are retained in their former sense: the Myodochini, the Gonianotini, and the Megalonotini are restored as tribes; the Beosini is separated from the Megalonotini; and the new tribe Plinthisini is proposed. The Cleradini (=Stygnocorini of Scudder) probably is still polyphyletic, but it can not be further evaluated as most of its genera are tropical and their nymphs are unknown.
