Abstract 

For the first time, all family-group names in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea (Coleoptera) are 
evaluated using the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to determine their 
availability and validity. A total of 383 family-group names were found to be available, and 
all are reviewed to scrutinize the correct spelling, author, date, nomenclatural availability 
and validity, and current classification status. Numerous corrections are given to various 
errors that are commonly perpetuated in the literature. A reversal of precedence is used to 
preserve the prevailing usage of the following family-group names: Eupariini Schmidt, 1910 
(over Ataeniini Harold, 1868); Pachydemini Burmeister, 1855 (over Elaphocerini Blanchard, 
1851); Heterosternina Bates, 1888 (over Macropnina Horn, 1866); and Anomalina Streubel, 
1839 (over Euchlorina Hope, 1839).
