List Of Subgroups Of The Order Coleoptera
This article classifies the subgroups of the order Coleoptera (beetles) down to the level of families, following the system in "Family-group names in Coleoptera (Insecta)", Bouchard, et al. (2011), with corrections and additions from 2020, with common names from bugguide.net. *Order Coleoptera **Suborder † Protocoleoptera ***Superfamily †Tshekardocoleoidea Rohdendorf, 1944 ****Family †Tshekardocoleidae Rohdendorf, 1944 ****Family † Labradorocoleidae Ponomarenko, 1969 ****Family † Oborocoleidae Kukalová, 1969 ***Superfamily † Permocupedoidea Martynov, 1933 ****Family †Permocupedidae Martynov, 1933 ****Family †Taldycupedidae Rohdendorf, 1961 ***Superfamily † Permosynoidea Tillyard, 1924 ****Family †Ademosynidae Ponomarenko, 1968 ****Family †Permosynidae Tillyard, 1924 **Suborder Archostemata ***Superfamily Cupedoidea Laporte, 1836 ****Family Crowsoniellidae Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1983 ****Family Cupedidae Laporte, 1836 ****Family Micromalthidae Barber, 1913 ...

Scientific Classification
Taxonomy is the practice and science of categorization or classification. A taxonomy (or taxonomical classification) is a scheme of classification, especially a hierarchical classification, in which things are organized into groups or types. Among other things, a taxonomy can be used to organize and index knowledge (stored as documents, articles, videos, etc.), such as in the form of a library classification system, or a search engine taxonomy, so that users can more easily find the information they are searching for. Many taxonomies are hierarchies (and thus, have an intrinsic tree structure), but not all are. Originally, taxonomy referred only to the categorisation of organisms or a particular categorisation of organisms. In a wider, more general sense, it may refer to a categorisation of things or concepts, as well as to the principles underlying such a categorisation. Taxonomy organizes taxonomic units known as "taxa" (singular "taxon")." Taxonomy is different from m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Magnocoleidae
Magnocoleidae is an extinct family of beetles in the suborder Archostemata. It was first described in 1998 by Hong, who attributes a single genus, ''Magnocoleus'', to this family. The genus contains a single species ''Magnocoleus huangjiapuensis''. The species was extant during the Cretaceous The Cretaceous ( ) is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya). It is the third and final period of the Mesozoic Era, as well as the longest. At around 79 million years, it is the longest geological period of ... between 130.0 and 125.45 Mya.

Jurodidae
Jurodidae is a family of beetles that was originally described for the extinct genus '' Jurodes'', known from the Middle-Late Jurassic of Asia. In 1996, a living species, ''Sikhotealinia zhiltzovae'' was discovered in the Sikhote-Alin mountains in Siberia, and assigned to this family. Their placement is uncertain, but are usually considered archostematans. In one study, ''Sikhotealinia'' and ''Jurodes'' were considered a sister group to all other archostematan beetles. However, other authors have considered them to mix characteristics of Archostemata, as well as Polyphaga and Adephaga.

Ommatidae
The Ommatidae are a family of beetles in the suborder Archostemata. The Ommatidae are considered the extant beetle family that has most ancestral characteristics. There are only seven extant species, confined to Australia and South America. However, the geographical distribution was much wider during the Mesozoic spanning across Eurasia and Australia, suggesting that they were widespread on Pangea. So far, over 26 extinct genera containing over 170 species of these beetles have been described. Three extant genera have been assigned to this family: ''Omma,'' '' Tetraphalerus'' and '' Beutelius''. The family is considered to be a subfamily of Cupedidae by some authors, but have been found to be more closely related to Micromalthidae in molecular phylogenies. A close relationship with Micromalthidae is supported by several morphological characters, including those of the mandibles and male genitalia. Due to their rarity, their ecology is obscure, it is likely that their larvae feed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Micromalthus Debilis
The telephone-pole beetle (''Micromalthus debilis'') is a beetle native to the eastern United States, and the only living representative of the otherwise extinct family Micromalthidae. They have an unusual lifecycle involving asexually reproducing (parthenogenetic) female larvae, as well as non-functional "ghost adults". Taxonomy Classification of ''M. debilis'' was historically controversial and unsettled. The species, first reported by John Lawrence LeConte in 1878, was long considered one of the Polyphaga, and placed in the Lymexylidae or Telegeusidae, or as a family within the Cantharoidea. However, characteristics of larvae, wings, and male genitalia show that it is in the suborder Archostemata, where it has been placed since 1999. Morphology and life cycle The adult beetle is elongated, ranging from in length, and a dark brown to blackish color, with brownish-yellow legs and antennae. The head is larger than the thorax, with large eyes protruding from either side. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
