A Review of the Family-group Names for the Superfamily Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) with Corrections to Nomenclature and a Current Classification

Abstract: For the first time, all family-group names in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) are evaluated using the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to determine their availability and validity. A total of 383 family-group names were found to be available, and all are reviewed to scrutinize the correct spelling, author, date, nomenclatural availability and validity, and current classification status. Numerous corrections are given to various errors that are commonly perpetuated in the literature. A r… Show more

“…Within Scarabaeoidea, the tribe Aphodiini (Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae), together with Scarabaeinae and Geotrupinae (Scarabaeidae and Geotrupidae families, respectively), comprise a significant majority of the known species of dung beetles (Halffter & Edmonds, 1982; classification sensu Smith, 2006). Aphodiini are distributed worldwide in every biogeographical region (G. Dellacasa et al, 2001;M.…”
