A phylogenetic analysis of the New World Ptininae (Anobiidae) was conducted with representatives of nine of ten New World genera, several Old World genera and seven more of the ten subfamilies of Anobiidae. One hundred and two characters (forty-three multistate) from thirty-four taxa were used. The single cladogram shows Ptininae as monophyletic and the sister group of the remaining Anobiidae, supporting their placement as subfamilies of a monophyletic Bostrichidae. Genus Niptus Boieldieu is polyphyletic supporting recognition of Pseudeurostus Heyden and the creation of a new genus to encompass the remaining New World species of Niptus. Flightlessness has evolved a minimum of three times within Ptininae and myrmecophily has probably evolved three times within just the New World taxa. The classifications of Ptininae and the remaining Anobiidae are examined and the evolution of feeding habits, myrmecophily and wing loss are discussed.
