Superfamily
SCARABAEOIDEA
Latreille, 1802
Original spelling and citation: Scarabaeïdes
Latreille 1802: 144
Type
genus:
Scarabaeus
Linnaeus, 1758: 345
Remark: Scaraboides (von
Laicharting 1781
: II) was used prior to
Latreille (1802)
but does not fulfill the
ICZN
criteria for availability because it was used at the order rank not the family-group level. Scaraboides
sensu
von Laicharting was used as the name for all
beetles (5order
Coleoptera
). This name has not been adapted at the order level and is unavailable at the family-group level (Article 1.2.2).
