Taxacom: beetle nomenclature - Scolytidae or Scolytinae

[Derek Sikes]

John,

Here's a good reference to see re Solytinae as a subfamily:

 Jordal BH, Smith SM, Cognato AI (2014) Classification of weevils as a
data-driven science: leaving opinion behind. ZooKeys 439: 1–18. doi:
10.3897/zookeys.439.8391

You might also find it good to know the large carrion & burying beetles
(Silphidae) are now a subfamily (Silphinae) of Staphylinidae.
