Beetles (Coleoptora)

I'm in the process of adding these systematically: so far I have completed suborder Adephaga and superfamilies Hydrophiloidea, Staphylinoidea, Scarabaeoidea, Scirtoidea, Dascilloidea, Byrrhoidea, Elateroidea, Bostrichoidea and Cleroidea. Superfamily Cucujoidea is now in progress.
