- 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 (sometimes in Curculioninae)
- Pissodini
- Sternechini
- Styanacini
- Thalasselephantini
- Trachodini
- Trigonocolini

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.
