The Megatomini are a tribe of insects in the family Dermestidae.
The tribe was first classified by William Elford Leach in The Edinburgh Encyclopaedia in 1815. [1]
According to research in Zhou et al. (2022), only 3 major clades are recognized with support by both molecular and morphological data. [2]
Megatomini classification by Zhou et al. (2022), with some genera excluded due to uncertain status (lack of research) and others revised given new research and further synonimization:
World Dermestidae catalogue (Jiří Háva, 2023) also separates subtribes Anthrenocerina and Cryptorhopalina. [3] However genera of Anthrenocerina (Anthrenocerus and Myrmeanthrenus) are genetically closely related to species of Trogoderma and synonymous to neighboring, newly defined genus Eurhopalus. [2]
Megatomini classification by Háva, 2023:
Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles. Other common names include larder beetle, hide or leather beetles, carpet beetles, and khapra beetles. There are over 1,800 species described.
Anthrenus is a genus of beetles in the Dermestidae family, skin beetles. One of several genera of carpet beetles, Anthrenus was historically placed in a subfamily Anthreninae, though presently included in the Megatominae. The genus Neoanthrenus is closely related.
Trogoderma is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. There are about 135 species worldwide.
Megatominae is a subfamily of the beetle family Dermestidae. This subfamily contains several of the most well-known household and stored-product pest beetles, in the genera Anthrenus and Trogoderma.
Ctesias is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. They are distributed in the Palearctic, including Europe. There are about 23 species.
Reesa is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. The sole species is Reesa vespulae. This beetle is native to the Nearctic, but today it can be found nearly worldwide; it is easily introduced to new areas.
Anthrenini is a tribe of beetles in the family Dermestidae. There are at least 100 described species in Anthrenini.
Ranthenus is a subgenus of the genus Anthrenus of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles. Species of subgenus are present only in Asia and Turkey. Subgenus is distinguished by antennae with 4 segments.
Setapeacockia is a subgenus of the genus Anthrenus of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles.
Peacockia is a subgenus of the genus Anthrenus of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles. Only one African species is currently described.
Solskinus is a subgenus of the genus Anthrenus of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles. Subgenus is distinguished by antennae with 7 segments.
Nathrenus is a subgenus of the genus Anthrenus of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles. The most well-known species from the subgenus, varied carpet beetle, is distributed in most parts of the world, whereas the vast majority of other species are only present in regions of Africa and Asia.
Anthrenus is a subgenus of the genus Anthrenus of the subfamily Megatominae within the family of skin beetles.
Anthrenus pimpinellae complex is a group of closely related species from subgenus Anthrenus. Most species that currently belong to the group were previously assigned as subspecies of Anthrenus pimpinellae.
Trogoderma angustum is a species of beetle in the family Dermestidae native to South America. It has been introduced to several regions including Europe, Asia, United States, New Zealand, and possibly Congo.
Anthrenus (Nathrenus) gorki is a species of carpet beetle found in Azerbaijan, Greece, and Turkey.
Anthrenus (Nathrenus) nideki is a species of carpet beetle found in South Africa.
Anthrenus (Nathrenus) noctua is a species of carpet beetle found in South Africa.
Anthrenus (Anthrenodes) minor is a species of carpet beetle found in the Canary Islands, Greece, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia.
Eurhopalus is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae. The genus was revised in 2022 to include several genera, along with species previously placed in the genus Trogoderma.
