Anobiinae is the subfamily of death-watch beetles [3] in the family Ptinidae, with at least 45 genera.[4][5][1] It was formerly considered a member of the family Anobiidae, but its family name has since been changed to Ptinidae.[1][6][7][5]
The larvae of a number of species tend to bore into wood, earning them the name "woodworm" or "wood borer". A few species, such as the common furniture beetle, Anobium punctatum, are pests, causing damage to wooden furniture and house structures.[8]
