Trogoderma is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. There are about 135 species worldwide. [1]
Some species are pests of stored animal and plant products. [2]
Recent research shows that Trogoderma (in its broad, traditional definition) is polyphyletic. Many species in the Southern Hemisphere are genetically distinct from the Holarctic species, which led to their reclassification under the genus Eurhopalus (Zhou et al., 2022). [3] However, this change is not widely adopted, which in some cases is caused by differing opinions on taxonomy - e.g., the World Dermestidae Catalogue (Jiří Háva, 2023) still recognizes the old classification system and actively reinstated several genera synonymized with Eurhopalus. [4]
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.
Dermestes is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. The genus is distributed worldwide.
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.
Attagenus is a genus of beetles. This genus is found in tropical Africa, the Palearctic including Europe, the Near East, the Nearctic, North Africa and East Asia. There are nearly 200 species. The genus has existed for at least 99 million years, with fossils known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber and Turonian aged New Jersey amber.

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.
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.
