Scirtoidea

provided by wikipedia EN

Scirtoidea is a superfamily of beetles.[1] It is traditionally considered to consist of four families: Clambidae, Decliniidae, Eucinetidae and Scirtidae.[2] However, genetic studies have suggested that Clambidae and Eucinetidae belong to a separate superfamily Clamboidea, which also includes Derodontidae. Scirtoidea and Clamboidea are the two earliest diverging lineages of living polyphagans.[1]

Two extinct families have also been assigned to this group:
