Cetonida Leach, 1815: 99 [stem: Cetoni-]. Type genus: Cetonia Fabricius, 1775. Comment: A. B. T. Smith (2006: 177) noted that although Cetoniinae has priority over Melolonthinae , the latter is in prevailing usage at the family level and must not be displaced by the older name under Article 35.5 (only relevant in cases where authors consider Melolonthidae to be a family containing the subfamily Cetoniinae ).
