Coleoptera incertae sedis

Homoeoplastidae Gistel, 1856a: 360. Type genus: Homoeoplastus Gistel, 1856 [Gistel includes three species in his new genus, none of which are described in his work nor attributed to authors as having been described previously; we therefore consider Homoeoplastus unavailable]. Comment: family-group name unavailable (Art. 11.7.1.1): not based on an available genus name.

Plocasteidae Gistel, 1856a: 365. Type genus: Plocastes Gistel, 1856 [the only species originally included in Plocastes is scaraboides; Gistel does not mention the author of the species name, nor does he describe the taxon, we therefore consider Plocastes as unavailable]. Comment: family-group name unavailable (Art. 11.7.1.1): not based on an available genus name.

Serratopalpidae Gistel, 1856a: 384. Type genus: Serratopalpus Gistel, 1856 [ Serratopalpus helwigii was the only species originally included in Serratopalpus ; this new species was not described in Gistel’s original paper therefore the genus name is considered unavailable]. Comment: family-group name unavailable (Art. 11.7.1.1): not based on an available genus name.
