This catalogue includes all valid family-group (six subtribes), genus-group (55 genera, 33 subgenera), and species-group names (1009 species and subspecies) of Sepidiini darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae), and their available synonyms. For each name, the author, year, and page number of the description are provided, with additional information (e.g., type species for genus-group names, author of synonymies for invalid taxa, notes) depending on the taxon rank. Verified distributional records (loci typici and data acquired from revisionary publications) for all the species are gathered. Distribution of the subtribes is illustrated and discussed.

Several new nomenclatural acts are included. The generic namesPhanerotomeaKoch, 1958 [=OcnodesFåhraeus, 1870] andParmulariaKoch, 1955 [=PsammodesKirby, 1819] are new synonyms (valid names in square brackets).

The type species [placed in square brackets] of the following genus-group taxa are designated for the first time,OcnodesFåhraeus, 1870 [OcnodesscrobicollisFåhraeus, 1870],PsammodophysisPéringuey, 1899 [PsammodophysisprobesPéringuey, 1899], andTrachynotidusPéringuey, 1899 [PsammodesthoreyiHaag-Rutenberg, 1871].

A lectotype is designated forHistrionotusomercooperiKoch, 1955 in order to fix its taxonomic status.UlamusKamiński is introduced here as a replacement name forEchinotusMarwick, 1935 [Type species.AviculaechinataSmith, 1817] (Mollusca: Pteriidae) to avoid homonymy withEchinotusSolier, 1843 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae).
