Agrypninae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least 130 genera and more than 430 described species within Agrypninae. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These genera are members of the subfamily Agrypninae: [4]
Agrypnus is a genus of click beetle.
Pyrophorus is a genus of click beetle. They are one of several genera in the tribe Pyrophorini, all of which are bioluminescent. Their bioluminescence is similar to that of another group of beetles, the fireflies, although click beetles do not flash, but remain constantly glowing. They have two luminescent spots at the posterior corners of the pronotum, and another brighter light organ on the most-anterior surface of the ventral abdomen. This light organ is even brighter and can only be seen when in flight. Bioluminescent click beetles are found throughout tropical, subtropical and temperate America. Species from Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and Cuba are now in different genera in the tribe Pyrophorini, such as Deilelater and Ignelater.
Melanotus is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are close to 800 described species in Melanotus, found worldwide.
Chalcolepidius is a genus of beetles in the family Elateridae.
Lanelater is a genus of click beetle belonging to the family Elateridae.
Athous is a genus of click beetles belonging to the family Elateridae.
Calais is a genus of click beetle belonging to the family Elateridae and the subfamily Agrypninae.
Monocrepidius is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. The genus has often been cited as Conoderus, but of the two names for this genus published simultaneously in 1829, the one selected by the First Reviser under the ICZN was Monocrepidius, rendering Conoderus the junior synonym.

Agrypnini is a tribe of click beetles in the family Elateridae.
The Pyrophorini are a New World taxonomic tribe within the Elateridae subfamily Agrypninae. Pyrophorini is a tribe of bioluminescent beetles, and includes such genera as Pyrophorus and Ignelater.
