Anobiinae
Anobiinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Ptinidae (formerly Anobiidae), containing at least 45 genera.
The larvae of a number of species tend to bore into wood, earning them the name "woodworm" or "wood borer". A few species, such as the common furniture beetle, Anobium punctatum, are pests, causing damage to wooden furniture and house structures.
