Dermestidae
Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles or carpet beetles. Other common names include larder beetles, hide or leather beetles, and khapra beetles. There are over 1,800 species described. Dermestids have a variety of habits; most genera are scavengers that feed on dry animal or plant material, such as skin or pollen, animal hair, feathers, dead insects and natural fibers. Members of '' Dermestes'' are found in animal carcasses, while others may be found in mammal, bird, bee, or wasp nests. '' Thaumaglossa'' only lives in the egg cases of mantids, while '' Trogoderma'' species are pests of grain. These beetles are significant in forensic entomology. Some species are associated with decaying carcasses, which may help with criminal investigations. Some species are pests ( urban entomology) and can cause extensive damage to natural fibers in homes and places of business. They are used in taxidermy and by natural history museums to clean ...

Megatominae
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''. Taxonomy According to World Dermestidae catalogue (Jiří Háva, 2023), following taxonomic division is proposed for Megatominae: *Dermestidae **Megatominae *** Anthrenini *** Megatomini *** Ctesiini ** Dermestinae ** Thorictinae ** Orphilinae ** Trinodinae **Attageninae ** Trogoparvinae Genera The genera listed below currently belong to subfamily Megatominae (subtribes omitted) Anthrenini: * '' Anthrenus'' Geoffroy, 1762 * '' Dermeanthrenus'' Háva, 2008 Ctesiini: * ''Ctesias'' Stephens, 1830 Megatomini: * †'' Amberoderma'' Háva & Prokop, 2004 * ''Anthrenocerus ''Anthrenocerus'' is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles.

Trogoderma
''Trogoderma'' is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. There are about 135 species worldwide. Some species are pests of stored animal and plant products. Taxonomy Recent research shows that ''Trogoderma'' (in its broad, traditional definition) is polyphyletic. Many species in the Southern Hemisphere are in a clade that is genetically distinct from the Holarctic species clade, which led to their proposed reclassification under the genus '' Eurhopalus'' (Zhou et al., 2022). However, this change is not widely adopted - e.g., the World Dermestidae Catalogue (Jiří Háva, 2023) still recognizes the old classification system and actively reinstated several genera synonymized with ''Eurhopalus''.

Dermestes
''Dermestes'' is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. The genus is distributed worldwide.Magni, P. A., et al. (2015)A biological and procedural review of forensically significant ''Dermestes'' species (Coleoptera: Dermestidae).''Journal of Medical Entomology'', 52(5), 755-769. The larvae of these beetles feed on dead and dried animal material, including dead bodies, dried meat and fish, and body parts such as bone, hair, skin, and feathers. They are cannibalistic on occasion. They are pests of museums, where they feed on specimens such as dried insects and stuffed animals. They may be useful in museum settings as well, where they are used in facilities called dermestaria to clean tissue from skeletons.''Dermestes maculatus'' De Geer, 1 ...

Coleoptera
Beetles are insects that form the Taxonomic rank, order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Holometabola. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described arthropods and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. However, the number of beetle species is challenged by the number of species in Fly, dipterans (flies) and hymenopterans (wasps). Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ...
