Zopherinae
Zopherinae is a subfamily of beetles, commonly known as ironclad beetles. Together with the subfamily Usechinae they have been treated historically as a family, but have recently been joined by several additional taxa, making the Zopheridae a much larger composite family, and the Zopherinae are now only a small component within it, consisting of 8 genera in the tribe Zopherini and one genus, Phellopsis in its own tribe (Phellopsini).
