• Phylogeny and classification of Cucujoidea and the recognition of a new superfamily Coccinelloidea (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia) (2015, neutral): “…Cucujoidea (flat bark beetles, pleasing fungus beetles, lady beetles, etc.; >19 000 species), Chrysomeloidea (leaf beetles, longhorn beetles, etc.; >50 000 species) and Curculionoidea (weevils;>60 000 species) (Young, 2002; Hunt et al., 2007; Oberprieler et al., 2007; Gunter et al., 2013, 2014).”
• Structural alignment of 18S and 28S rDNA sequences provides insights into phylogeny of Phytophaga (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea and Chrysomeloidea) (2009, methodology): “Within Curculionoidea, we recover the relationships between the ‘seven’ weevil families, in concordance with current hypotheses based on morphology (Marvaldi & Morrone 2000; Marvaldi et al. 2002; Oberprieler et al. 2007).”
• Good-bye Scydmaenidae, or why the ant-like stone beetles should become megadiverse Staphylinidae sensu latissimo (Coleoptera) (2009, background): “…the largest in Coleoptera, with 55,440 described species (extant plus extinct) recognized as valid through the end of 2007 (Newton, 2007, slightly updated), thus surpassing its only rival (Gaston, 1991), the Curculionidae, with an estimated 51,000 described species (Oberprieler et al., 2007).”
• The beetle tree of life reveals that Coleoptera survived end‐Permian mass extinction to diversify during the Cretaceous terrestrial revolution (2015, background): “…internal higher level relationships of the family Curculionidae are in general agreement with current views on weevil phylogeny based on morphological and/or molecular data (e.g. Marvaldi et al., 2002, 2009; Oberprieler et al., 2007; McKenna et al., 2009; Haran et al., 2013; Gillett et al., 2014).”
• Family-group names in Coleoptera (Insecta) (2011, background): “It should be noted that the recent proliferation of new scientific names proposed by Legalov is treated by some authors as “extreme splitting” (Riedel 2006) and “based on numerous spurious characters of doubtful phylogenetic value” (Oberprieler et al. 2007).”
• Fossil Mesozoic and Cenozoic weevils (Coleoptera, Obrienioidea, Curculionoidea) (2015, background): “In addition, Ithycerus is character ized by three articled labial palpi, whereas the most primitive representatives of Brentidae (Eurhynchinae) have two articled palpi and, therefore, they cannot be ancestral to Ithycerinae.”
