說明
Beetles (Coleoptera) represent the most diverse group in terrestrial ecosystems, having evolved a wide range of ecological adaptations and established intricate interactions with other organisms. To date, more than 380000 beetle species have been described. In recent years, advances in molecular phylogenetics and sequencing technologies have greatly refined the higher-level classification of Coleoptera, leading to the synonyms or separation of several family-level groups. Consequently, the coleopteran section of The Name-List of Insecta (Above Family Level) with Chinese Common Names—long used by the local entomological community—has become outdated and requires revision. In this study, we provide an updated checklist of extant coleopteran families based on the latest higher-level classification, encompassing 26 superfamilies and 196 families, with corresponding Chinese family names. Several existing Chinese names were slightly revised to reflect better morphological characteristics, ecological traits, geographic distribution, and common usage.

取樣方法
The study targets all extant Coleopteran taxa at the family level and above. The sample list is synthesized by integrating: 1. Modern Classification Systems: Based on recent phylogenomic analyses (e.g., McKenna et al., 2019; Cai et al., 2022; Bouchard et al., 2024). 2. Regional Databases: Data from the Catalogue of Life in Taiwan (TaiCOL) and the Taiwan Encyclopedia of Life (TaiEOL). 3. Nomenclature Reference: The "List of Chinese Names for Insect Orders and Families."
| 研究範圍 | Based on the latest phylogenomic analyses and higher-level classification systems of Coleoptera (McKenna et al., 2019; Cai et al., 2022; Bouchard et al., 2024), this study reorganizes the checklist of extant Coleopteran families and higher taxa, accompanied by their respective Chinese common names. |

方法步驟描述:
- 1. Taxonomic Framework Update: Reorganize the checklist of extant Coleoptera (family level and above) according to the latest higher-level classification systems and phylogenomic evidence. 2. Selection of Established Chinese Names: Prioritize existing common names from TaiCOL and TaiEOL. Retain widely accepted terms in the Taiwanese community, even if they originated from other regions (e.g., Cucujidae), to respect established usage. 3. Evaluation and Revision of Non-Native Taxa: Review names for taxa not found in Taiwan. If existing common names are misleading regarding geographic distribution (e.g., Promecheilidae), the names are adjusted for accuracy. 4. Naming of New or Independent Taxa: Assign new Chinese names to recently discovered families or taxa newly separated from older groups (e.g., Iberobaeniidae, Anamorphidae) that are absent from previous checklists. 5. Standardization of New Common Names: When creating names: - Adaptation: Convert suitable existing names from other regions into the conventional Taiwanese format ("□□蟲"). - Original Etymology: If no suitable name exists, derive new names based on morphological traits, ecology, geographic distribution, or the meaning of the Latin scientific name.
