Phylogeny and classification of Cucujoidea and the recognition of a new superfamily Coccinelloidea (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia) (2015, background): “With Languriidae now subsumed within Erotylidae in its entirety (W ¸egrzynowicz, 2002; Leschen, 2003; Robertson et al., 2004) including the former cryptophagids that linked Erotylidae to Cryptophagidae, few sister-group hypotheses for Erotylidae have been proposed recently.”
The beetle tree of life reveals that Coleoptera survived end‐Permian mass extinction to diversify during the Cretaceous terrestrial revolution (2015, background): “This is in contrast with its placement in the Zopheridae: Colydiinae (Lawrence, 1980; Ivie & Ślipiński, 1990), or Zopheridae incertae sedis (Leschen, 2003a).”
Classification of basal Cucujoidea (Coleoptera : Polyphaga): cladistic analysis, keys and review of new families (2005, background): “Though we have been able to address the monophyletic status of Phloeostichidae (sensu lato), cucujoid workers will need to polarise characters based on multiple outgroups (e.g. Ślipiński 1998; Leschen 1996, 2003).”
