The best known classifications of beetles

The best known preceding classifications of beetles Many coleopterists were studying the problem of macroclassification of Coleoptera on the level from an order to a family. To trace the evolution of views of the order system is very interesting and in the future we will try to collect a maximum number of such systems on our site. For now we will restrict ourselves to the best systems for the past 40 years. In order to be able to compare the classifications we will place only complete systems including all families on the earth.
