In this usage, the family is comprised of the subfamilies Melolonthinae, Euchirinae, Phaenomeriidnae, Dynastinae, Cetoniinae, Glaphyrinae, and Systellopodinae (Endrödi, 1966) while the Scarabaeidae refers to everything else except the Passalidae, Lucanidae, and Trogidae.

 .. :: Flower Beetles - Breeding Manual :: ..
Group easy is supposed to be very well adapted to the common breeding conditions, larvae widely accept normal rotten organic matter, adults hatch without any pupal diapausis, vital, active, starting to mate and lay eggs soon after hatching.
Among african cetoniinae example is genus Cyprolais (all species), Eudicella (all species), Smaragdesthes (mainly eastern tropical subspecies of sp.africana), Dicronorhina (all species) and many of Stephanorrhina.
Most of the cetoniinae in culture do accept mixture composed of old leaf litter (any deciduos trees) with addition of rotten wood (preferably white wood, like beech or oak).

 God of Insects - Museum: Cetoniinae
The subfamily Cetoniinae is a group of beetles commonly known as Flower Beetles.
Not only do the beetles within Cetoniinae have some of the most striking color patterns of any group of beetles, they are also among the largest.
For collectors, the Goliath Beetles (Goliathus spp.) of Africa are by far some of the most prized of all beetles, known not only for their size (11cm+) but also for the bold designs that make them such handsome insects.

 Family Scarabaeidae - Scarab beetle breeding manual
Before you even obtain some pairs of adult scarabs for breeding, it is always a good idea to at least have the materials prepared that will be used to create the rearing substrate.
The materials used to rear beetles of the subfamilies cetoniinae and dynastinae are heavily decomposed deciduous hardwoods and old leaf litter that has aged to the point that it has become a bit soft and moldy.
When found in nature, these two materials are very seldom of the proper consistency for ideal use as a rearing substrate for captive beetles, and they usually must be broken down further.

 .. :: Flower Beetles - Breeding Manual :: ..
It is necessary to realize we cannot provide beetles the same conditions they have in the nature, we can only copy such an environment and estimate what might be done in a different way to be still good for them.
Having such an experiences one must realize how simple the natural process of beetle development is, but how difficult and sometimes even impossible it is to do the same at home in the terrarium.
In total amount of 3000 cetoniinae species - I would say only less than 10% can be relatively easily kept in breedings, about 30% could be once successfully reproduced, but not further anymore, and the breeding of remaining 60% is almost impossible or just the question of luck.

 FaunaKeys - Key to the Flower Chafers of New South Wales
The Cetoniinae are a subfamily of the family Scarabaeidae, which includes Dung Beetles, Christmas Beetles, Rhinoceros Beetles and Chafers.
The key has been constructed from examination of preserved specimens held at the Australian Museum, or loaned from other institutions, and is the first key for the identification of the New South Wales Cetoniinae.
The choice of species is based on locality information taken from the Zoological Catalogue for Australian Cetoniinae (Cassis and Weir, 1992), literature records, advice from colleagues and specimen data held by the Australian Museum.

This manual begins with the assumption that the reader is already familiar with the basic methods involved with the captive rearing and maintenance of scarab beetles of the subfamily Cetoniinae.
The various components of the substrate should all be mixed together very thoroughly so that it is of uniform consistency throughout.
The proper moisture level for Goliathus breeding substrate is essentially the same as that used for rearing most other cetoniinae, though just slightly drier, as the eggs appear to be adversely affected by humidity which is too high.

The name “Scarab Beetle” is an appellation that defines a group of beetles known scientifically as the family Scarabaeidae, a huge family which is further divided into many subfamilies.
The four subfamilies that draw the most attention are Cetoniinae (The Flower Beetles), Dynastinae (The Rhinoceros Beetles), Rutelinae (The Shining Leaf-chafers), and the much-celebrated Scarabaeinae (The Dung Beetles).
