Dasytinae is a subfamily of soft-wing flower beetles, beetles of the family Melyridae, historically sometimes treated as a separate family, "Dasytidae".[1]
Description and distribution

Dasytinae are typically small (<8 mm) and parallel-sided, with brownish to blackish integument (rarely metallic), and with or without a covering of short pubescence.

They are most common and diverse in xeric regions of North America (especially the genera Trichochrous and Listrus) and Central Asia.[1]
