Home›Insect Families›Taxonomic Rank›FamilyBrowse ByFamilyTaxonomic rank sorts taxa by their formal level, such as family, genus or order.

This dimension lets a visitor compare taxa that sit at the same formal level of classification.FactsFamilySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonTaxonomic Rank OrderWell-attested6 1FamilyFilter Results92 entriesCommon GroupAllAnt and Bee Families (Hymenoptera) (2)Butterfly Families (6)Flat Bark and Fungus Beetle Families (Cucujoidea) (25)Ground, Diving and Water Beetle Families (Adephaga) (6)Moth Families (16)Other Beetle Families (Polyphaga) (30)Weevil, Leaf Beetle and Longhorn Families (6)Everyday GroupAllAnt and Bee Families (Hymenoptera) (2)Butterfly Families (6)Flat Bark and Fungus Beetle Families (Cucujoidea) (25)Ground, Diving and Water Beetle Families (Adephaga) (6)Moth Families (16)Other Beetle Families (Polyphaga) (30)Weevil, Leaf Beetle and Longhorn Families (6)Geographic DistributionAllAfrica (7)Antarctica (2)Argentina (1)Asia (8)Australia (11)Canada (3)Chile (4)China (1)Europe (8)Mexico (1)New Zealand (4)North America (14)South America (12)Tropics (1)United States (1)Living or ExtinctAllYes (92)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 42LampyridaeFamilyLasiocampidaeFamilyLucanidaeFamilyLycaenidaeFamilyLycidaeFamilyMeloidaeFamilyMonotomidaeFamilyMordellidaeFamilyMyraboliidaeFamilyNitidulidaeFamilyNoctuidaeFamilyNoteridaeFamilyNotodontidaeFamilyNymphalidaeFamilyOedemeridaeFamilyPapilionidaeFamilyPassalidaeFamilyPassandridaeFamilyPhalacridaeFamilyPhengodidaeFamilyPhloeostichidaeFamilyPieridaeFamilyPriasilphidaeFamilyProtocucujidaeFamilyPsephenidaeFamilyPterophoridaeFamilyPtinidaeFamilyPyralidaeFamilyRiodinidaeFamilyRipiphoridaeFamilySaturniidaeFamilyScarabaeidaeFamilyScirtidaeFamilySilvanidaeFamilySmicripidaeFamilySphindidaeFamilySphingidaeFamilyStaphylinidaeFamilyTasmosalpingidaeFamilyTenebrionidaeFamilyTortricidaeFamilyZygaenidaeFamilyShowing 51 to 92 of 92, page 2 of 2.← Previous12Sources1.
