43个可用的科群名称(和3个不可用的名称)被列为建立命名优先顺序的基础。现有的256个属组名称按字母顺序列出，并注明每个属的模式种；紧随其后的是23个在属组级建议或使用的名称，这些名称在动物学命名法中是不存在的。最后，给出了按亚属的分类，在科组和属组级的名称的处理方式与《国际动物命名法》的规定一致。这一分类识别出3个亚科(Eleticinae，Meloinae和Horiinae)，10族，15亚族，116属，66亚属。切罗科米尼部落的皮罗蒂纳和莱迪纳亚族(也就是Alosimina)与Lyttina亚族合并。Stenoderini部落属于Horiinae亚科，被定义为包括Stenodera Eschcitz。塞兰德从切罗科米尼转会到梅洛伊尼。最近提出的在属组级分类上的更改被纳入其中。此外，Gynapteryx Fairmaire和Germain被归入Picnoseus Solier的异名；以前被视为Meloe Linneeus的亚属的AFromeloe Schmidt和Lamproeloe Reitter被提升为全属；Znitolytta Pic在Nemognatha Iliger被降为亚属。
Forty-three available family-group names (and three unavailable names) in Meloidae are listed as a basis for establishing nomenclatural priority. Available genus-group names, 256 in number, are listed alphabetically with indication of the type species of each; this is followed by a list of 23 names proposed or used at the genus-group level that are unavailable in zoological nomenclature. Finally, a classification of the family Meloidae to the subgeneric level is presented in which names at the family-group and genus-group levels are treated in a manner consistent with the provisions of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. This classification recognizes three subfamilies (Eleticinae, Meloinae, and Horiinae), 10 tribes, 15 subtribes, 116 genera, and 66 subgenera. The subtribes Pyrotina and Lydina (properly Alosimina), of the tribe Cerocomini, are combined with the subribe Lyttina. The tribe Stenoderini, of the subfamily Horiinae, is defined to include Stenodera Eschscholtz. Epispasta Selander is transferred from Cerocomini to Meloini. Recently proposed changes in classification at the genus-group level are incorporated. In addition, Gynapteryx Fairmaire and Germain is placed in the synonymy of Picnoseus Solier; Afromeloe Schmidt and Lampromeloe Reitter, formerly treated as subgenera of Meloe Linnaeus, are elevated to full generic rank; and Zonitolytta Pic is reduced to subgeneric rank in Nemognatha Illiger.
