THE HIND WING OF COLEOPTERA (INSECTA): MORPHOLOGY, NOMENCLATURE AND PHYLOGENETIC SIGNIFICANCE: PART 2. FURTHER DISCUSSION, HISTEROIDEA, BOSTRICHOIDEA TO CURCULIONOIDEA

Part 2 of this work includes a review of morphological and systematic work on Histeridae (G07, revision), Bostrichoidea (G15), Coccinelloidea (G16), Lymexyloidea + Tenebrionoidea (G17), Cleroidea (G18), Cucujoidea (G19), Chrysomeloidea (G20) and Curculionoidea (G21), discussions of hind wing structure in each group based on 702 wing images, references to additional published figures and comments on wing morphology and, if possible, how these wing features may or may not be correlated with recent phylogenetic hypotheses. The introduction is followed by brief discussions of some important works not mentioned in Part 1, particularly those dealing with relationships of extinct taxa.

Automated summary

The second part of this work reviews morphological and systematic studies on Histeridae, Bostrichoidea, Coccinelloidea, Lymexyloidea + Tenebrionoidea, Cleroidea, Cucujoidea, Chrysomeloidea and Curculionoidea, and discusses hind wing structure in each group based on wing images. It also refers to additional published figures and provides comments on wing morphology and its correlation with recent phylogenetic hypotheses. In addition, it briefly discusses important works on relationships of extinct taxa not mentioned in the first part.
