The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

On the nomenclatural status of type genera in Coleoptera (Insecta) [PDF]
More than 4700 nominal family-group names (including names for fossils and ichnotaxa) are nomenclaturally available in the order Coleoptera. Since each family-group name is based on the concept of its type genus, we argue that the stability of names used

Morphology and biology of Malachius prolongatus (Coleoptera: Melyridae: Malachiinae) [PDF]
Oviposition behaviour, early instars and adult sexual dimorphism of Malachius (Malachius) prolongatus Motschulsky, 1866 (Coleoptera: Melyridae: Malachiinae) are described. Larval morphogenesis and the timing of developmental events are compiled and compared with larval development of three malachiine species studied before.
