Bolboceratinae is a subfamily of earth-boring scarab beetles in the family Geotrupidae. There are about eight genera and at least 40 described species in Bolboceratinae.
Catalogue of Life and GBIF now consider Bolboceratinae to be a family, Bolboceratidae, rather than a subfamily. ITIS currently treats Bolboceratinae as a subfamily of Geotrupidae.
Genera These eight genera belong to the subfamily Bolboceratinae: Bolbelasmus Boucomont, 1911 Bolbocerastes Cartwright, 1953 Bolbocerosoma Schaeffer, 1906 Bolborhombus Cartwright, 1953 Bradycinetulus Cockerell, 1906 Eucanthus Westwood, 1848 Neoathyreus Howden and Martínez, 1963 Odonteus Samouelle, 1819
