In research by Kamiński et al. published in 2021, the concept Pedinini has been revisited. Based on molecular evidence Helopinina, Leichenina and Pedinina were considered subtribes within a single tribe. Identification key to Pedinina has been provided by Kamiński and Iwan in 2017, while the catalog of species representing Helopinina was published by Kamiński et al. 2021.
