“…Thus, we can confidently point to 63 novel species-larval associations. These larvae will be (and have already been) figured in detailed descriptions and represent the beginnings of comparative studies among known larvae of some soil and litter beetle taxa (Caterino & Harden, 2022). They are also allowing integrative descriptions of new species that include larval and adult characters simultaneously (Caterino, 2023;Haberski & Caterino, inpress;Harden & Caterino, in prep.…”

Synthetic studies of arthropod systematics and biodiversity are hindered by overreliance on ‘preferred’ semaphoronts, those life stages (typically adult males) that provide the most taxonomically distinctive characters. However, modern sequence‐based methods for inventory have no such limitations and permit incorporation of any and all representatives of a species. Here, we briefly review the growth and potential of these approaches to faunistic and systematic studies and share results from our own recent work that illustrate the value that other morphs, immature stages and females added to these studies.
