	Euchirinae Euchirinae is a subfamily of Scarabaeidae or scarab beetles in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea. They are sometimes referred to as "long-armed scarabs" due to the elongated forelegs of the males. These long legs often have median and apical spines that are fixed in the male while females have a movable terminal spine. They are sometimes included in Subfamily Melolonthinae as Tribe The term tribe is used in many different contexts to refer to a category of human social group.
