Peacock E.R. (1978). Trichelodes (=Hexanodes), type of Trichelodini new tribe, and its affinities with the Trinodini (Coleoptera: Dermestidae). New Zealand Journal of Zoology 5(2): 341-349.

Hexanodes Blair, 1941 from New Zealand is synonymous with the Australian genus Trichelodes Carter, 1935, here transferred from the Dascillidae (sensu Carter) to the monotypic new dermestid tribe Trichelodini. Couplets for Trichelodini and the closely related Trinodini are given for integration into Crowson's key to the subfamilies (= tribes?) of Dermestidae. The genera of Trinodini and the two known species of Trichelodes are keyed. Trichelodes delicatula (Australia) and T. vulgata (New Zealand) are redescribed; a lectotype is designated for vulgata , and its synonymy is updated.
