Description

Subfamily CETONIINAE Leach, 1815

Original spelling and citation: Cetonida Leach 1815 a: 99

Type genus: Cetonia Fabricius, 1775: 42

Remark: Although Cetoniinae has priority over Melolonthinae, the later is in prevailing usage at the family level and must not be displaced by the older name under Article 35.5. This is relevant for authors who consider Melolonthidae to be a family containing the subfamily Cetoniinae.
