Molytinae is a subfamily of weevils described by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823.

Molytinae includes the following tribes:

  • Amalactini
  • Aminyopini
  • Amorphocerin
  • Anchonini
  • Cholini
  • Cleogonini
  • Conotrachelini
  • Cycloterini
  • Dinomorphini
  • Euderini
  • Galloisiini
  • Guioperini
  • Hylobiini
  • Ithyporini
  • Juanorhinini
  • Lepyrini
  • Lithinini
  • Lymantini
  • Mecysolobini
  • Metatygini
  • Molytini
  • Nettarhinini
  • Pacholenini
  • Paipalesomini
  • Petalochilini
  • Phoenicobatini
  • Phrynixini[1]
  • Pissodini
  • Sternechini
  • Styanacini
  • Thalasselephantini
  • Trachodini
  • Trigonocolini
  • Trypetidini[1]

In many older treatments, the Bagoinae, Cryptorhynchinae, Hyperinae, Lixinae and Mesoptiliinae are included in the Molytinae as "tribus groups", as well as the Itini which are otherwise considered a tribe of the Curculioninae.
