"-ini" is the ending of a tribe name, and Cricotopus is the name-giving genus that belongs to that tribe, of course. I have no idea how many genera and species belong to Cricotopini, though... Regards, Sundew |

Yes, Sundew is right - it's a tribe name - I'm not certain that this is Cricotopus, but if not that genus. then it's something very close. I'm too lazy (actually too busy) to check which genera it might include.
