Molytinae is a subfamily of weevils described by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823.
Molytinae includes the following tribes:
- Amalactini
- Aminyopini
- Amorphocerini
- Anchonini
- Cholini
- Cleogonini
- Conotrachelini
- Cycloterini
- Dinomorphini
- Euderini
- Galloisiini
- Guioperini
- Hylobiini
- Ithyporini
- Juanorhinini
- Lepyrini
- Lithinini
- Lymantini
- Mecysolobini
- Metatygini
- Molytini
- Nettarhinini
- Pacholenini
- Paipalesomini
- Petalochilini
- Phoenicobatini
- Phrynixini[1]
- Pissodini
- Sternechini
- Styanacini
- Thalasselephantini
- Trachodini
- Trigonocolini
- Trypetidini[1]
In many older treatments, the Bagoinae, Cryptorhynchinae, Hyperinae, Lixinae and Mesoptiliinae are included in the Molytinae as "tribus groups", as well as the Itini which are otherwise considered a tribe of the Curculioninae.
