Beetles (Coleoptora)

I'm in the process of adding these systematically, reviewing old records and identifying outstanding specimens as I go. So far I have completed suborder Adephaga and superfamilies Hydrophiloidea, Staphylinoidea, Scarabaeoidea, Scirtoidea, Dascilloidea, Byrrhoidea, Elateroidea, Bostrichoidea, Cleroidea, Cucujoidea and Tenebrionoidea. Now working on Chrysomeloidea...

Until I get to them systemmatically, species in the following families are being added in an ad hoc manner as and when I come across new species or individuals that have provided ID challenges.

Family Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles)

Family Rhynchitidiae (tooth-nosed snout weevils)

Family Attelabidae (leaf-roller weevils)

Family Apionidae (seed weevils)

Family Erirhinidae (wetland weevils)

Family Curculionidae (weevils and bark beetles)
