Cheirodes

Cheirodes is a genus of darkling beetles in the Melanimonini tribe. It was formerly known as Anemia until 1973, when T. J. Spilman determined Anemia to be a synonym of Cheirodes Géné, 1839.

Subgenera
Cheirodes is split into several subgenera:
 * Cheirodes Géné, 1839
 * Anemiadena Ardoin, 1971
 * Histiaea Fairmaire, 1892
 * Pseudanemia Wollaston, 1864
 * Spinanemia Ardoin, 1971
 * Trichanemia Ardoin, 1971

Ammidanemia Reitter, 1904 is partly synonymous with Histiaea Fairmaire, 1892 and Pseudanemia Wollaston, 1864.
