  • Anthrenus Geoffroy, 1762, Attagenus Latreille, 1802, Cretoattagenus Hava, 2020,
  • Cretodermestes Deng, Slipinski, Ren & Pang, 2017, Tuberphradonoma Hava, 2021 and
  • Cretomegatoma Hava, 2021 (Cai et al., 2017, Deng et al., 2017, Hava & Damgaard, 2017,
  • Hava, 2020, 2021, 2022b). Additionally, an undescribed larva was mentioned as Trogoderma -
