1913 W. W. Fowler & H. St. J. Donisthorpe Coleoptera of Brit. Islands VI. p. vii. Ganglbauer divides the whole [order] into Adephaga and Polyphaga, the latter being equivalent to Sharp's Polymorpha, with the addition of the Lamellicornia.

1922 Ann. Entomol. Soc. Amer. 15 332 In the Polyphaga the base of [wing vein] R₈ is atrophied.

1968 J. Burton et al. Oxf. Bk. Insects 197 The order [sc. Coleoptera] is divided into the Adephaga or carnivorous Beetles..and the Polyphaga or omnivorous Beetles.

1998 Systematic Biol. 47 369/2 The Triassic archostematan family Ademosynidae may actually represent basal Polyphaga in which the prothoracic pleuron had not yet become internalized.

1961 Systematic Zool. 10 144/2 Chauliognathids belong to the superfamily Cantharoidea, found in the relatively primitive polyphagan series Elateriformia.

1996 Entomologica Scandinavica 27 197 Eighty characters of larvae and adults of 35 adephagan genera, 2 polyphagan genera, and 1 cupedid genus were analyzed.
