The beetle family Scarabaeidae is made up of about 28 subfamilies containing more than 100 tribes. There are more than 2,500 genera and 35,000 described species in Scarabaeidae.[1]

The following subfamilies and tribes are in accordance with those in Catalog of Life (2023) and Dietz, Ahrens, et al. (2023). The tribe Hopliini is placed as a subfamily in Catalogue of Life, but is listed as a tribe of subfamily Melolonthinae here. The subfamilies Sericinae and Sericoidinae were suggested in Dietz, Ahrens, et al. (2023) and are included in the Catalogue of Life.[1][2] The subfamily Lichniinae is sometimes considered a tribe, Lichniini.[3]
