Superfamily Chrysomeloidea Latreille, 1802

Chrysomelinae Latreille, 1802: 220 [stem: Chrysomel-]. Type genus: Chrysomela Linnaeus, 1758 [placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1984c)]. Comment: Švácha and Danilevsky (1987: 17) recognized Vesperinae , Oxypeltinae and Disteniinae at the family level, and later Švácha et al. (1997: 361) placed Anoplodermatinae and Philinae as subfamilies of Vesperidae ; although the classification is based primarily on larval characters, it is also supported by adult features, as pointed out by Švácha et al. (1997), as well as by some earlier workers, e.g., Gahan (1906), Linsley (1961), Crowson (1981), Saito (1990); this classification will also be used in the upcoming volume 3 of the "Handbook of Zoology: Coleoptera, beetles" series; First Reviser ( Chrysomeloidea Latreille, 1802 vs Megalopodoidea Latreille, 1802 vs Cerambycoidea Latreille, 1802) not determined, current usage maintained.
