It is composed of many hundreds of species. The larvae of some species are known to damage crops. Around 1,000 species are known to represent Sepidiini. Recently studies by Kamiński et al. revealed high levels of taxonomic inconsistencies across the tribe, which resulted in descriptions of a series of new genera.
