Molytinae includes the following tribes:

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.

These genera, among others, belong to the subfamily Molytinae:[2][3]
