Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda
Class:	Insecta
Order:	Coleoptera
Family:	Dermestidae
Subfamily:	Megatominae
Tribe:	Megatomini; Leach, 1815

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]

Taxonomy

According to World Dermestidae catalogue (Jiří Háva, 2023), following taxonomic division is proposed for Megatomini.^[2] However, Zhou and colleagues (2022) only recognize 3 major clades supported by both molecular and morphological research while also proposing the synonimization of subtribes Anthrenocerina and Cryptorhopalina with Trogodermina.^[3]
