Rutelinae or shining leaf chafers is a subfamily of the scarab beetles (family Scarabaeidae).

It is a very diverse group; distributed over most of the world, it contains some 200 genera with over 4,000 described species in 7 tribes.

[1] A few recent classifications include the tribe Hopliini, but this is not generally accepted.

Larvae feed on decaying wood, compost or roots.

[1] Additionally the fossil genus Anomalites from the Priabonian Süßwasserquarz of Nogent-le-Rotrou France has been placed as incertae sedis in the subfamily.
