Family Cucujidae Latreille, 1802

Cucujipes Latreille, 1802: 210 [stem: Cucuj-]. Type genus: Cucujus Fabricius, 1775 [placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1994a)].

*Biophloces Motschulsky, 1849: 60 [stem: Biophloe-]. Type genus: Biophloeus Dejean, 1835 [nomen oblitum; this genus name is a senior synonym of the well-established name Pediacus Shuckard, 1839 nomen protectum; however since Biophloeus Dejean has not been used as valid after 1899 to our knowledge, we provide references to support the conservation of Pediacus as the valid name for this genus (Art. 23.9.1) (see Appendix 1)]. Comment: original vernacular name unavailable (Art. 11.7.2): not subsequently latinized.

Earophilidae Gistel, 1856a: 375 [stem: Earophil-]. Type genus: Earophilus Gistel, 1856 [syn. of Cucujus Fabricius, 1775].
