Abstract (en):
The particular characteristics of both adults and larvae, have led some authors to consider them an independent group within the Scarabaeidae family. Several Latin American authors follow the proposal of Endrodi (1966), who considers the Cetoniinae a subfamily within the Melolonthidae family. The suprageneric revision of Krikken, (1984), elevates this group to the level of the Cetoniidae family, including the subfamilies Cetoniinae, Trichinae and Valginae who make up a monophyletic group related to the Rutelinae-Dynastinae (Morón & Deloya, 1997). Although this proposal is followed by the American school, there is not yet a consensus between the Latin American and American specialists. In this work the Latin American proposal is adopted.
