The '''Megatomini''' are a tribe of insects in the family Dermestidae.
The tribe was first classified by William Elford Leach in ''The Edinburgh Encyclopaedia'' in 1815.<ref name="W.E.Leach"/>
== Taxonomy == According to research in Zhou et al. (2022), only 3 major clades are recognized with support by both molecular and morphological data.<ref name=zhou2022/>
Megatomini classification by Zhou et al. (2022), with some genera excluded due to uncertain status (lack of research) and others revised given new research and further synonimization: {{Tree list}} *Dermestidae **Megatominae ***Megatomini ****Orphinina *****''Caccoleptus'' *****''Curtophinus'' '''rev. nov.''' *****''Falsoorphinus'' '''rev. nov.''' *****''Labrocerus'' *****''Orphinus'' *****''Thaumaglossa'' *****''Zahradnikia'' ****Megatomina *****''Globicornis'' (possible syn.
