Abstract
There are about 760 genus-group names, available and unavailable, in the families of Scarabaeoidea other than the Scarabaeidae by 11 March 2026. Of these, 457 refer to currently accepted extant and fossil genera, mainly in the Lucanidae (155), Hybosoridae (93), and Passalidae (72) A further >300 genus-group names are given subgeneric rank or placed in synonymy or homonymy. Passalus cancrus Percheron, 1844 is designated as the type species of both Basilianus Kaup, 1871 and Tiberius Kuwert, 1891, making both generic names new synonyms of Pharochilus Kaup, 1868.
