Erotylinae
Erotylinae is a subfamily of pleasing fungus beetles (family Erotylidae). It contains a lot of large (by their family's standards) and prominently-colored species.
Formerly, the name "Erotylinae" was applied to the entire present-day pleasing fungus beetle family; "Erotylidae" was at that time circumscribed more loosely and contained several lineages which are nowadays considered independent families again. Some recent authors include the subfamilies Dacninae, Encaustinae, Megalodacninae and Tritominae in the Erotylinae as tribes Dacnini, Encaustini, Megalodacnini and Tritomini; in this case the tribe Erotylini is approximately equivalent to the subfamily Erotylinae as circumscribed here.
