Trogoderma is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. There are about 135 species worldwide.[1]

Some species are pests of stored animal and plant products.[2]

Taxonomy

Recent research shows that Trogoderma (in its broad, traditional definition) is polyphyletic. Many species in the Southern Hemisphere are in a clade that is genetically distinct from the Holarctic species clade, which led to their proposed reclassification under the genus Eurhopalus (Zhou et al., 2022).[3] However, this change is not widely adopted - e.g., the World Dermestidae Catalogue (Jiří Háva, 2023) still recognizes the old classification system and actively reinstated several genera synonymized with Eurhopalus.[4]
