Scarabs The family Scarabaeidae as currently defined consists of over 30,000 species of beetles worldwide, often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family is fairly unstable, with numerous competing theories, and new proposals appearing quite often. Many of the subfamilies listed here probably will not be recognized very much longer, as they will likely be reduced in status below subfamily rank, or elevated to family status the latter is most likely, e. With the family Melolonthidae already appearing in some recent classifications. Other families have been removed recently, and are nearly universally accepted.
