Ernobius mollis

Ernobiinae is a subfamily of death-watch and spider beetles in the family Ptinidae. There are about 8 genera and at least 90 described species in Ernobiinae. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}

The subfamily Dryophilinae, along with Anobiinae and several others, were formerly considered members of the family Anobiidae, but the family name has since been changed to Ptinidae. ^{[5] [3] [4] [2]}
