Abstract

An updated checklist of the Swiss species belonging to the superfamily Cleroidea is presented and briefly discussed. A total of 106 species belonging to the families Biphyllidae
(2 species), Byturidae (2), Cleridae (18), Melyridae (66), Phloiophilidae (1), Rhadalidae (8) and Trogossitidae (9) is confirmed for Switzerland. This list is based on 18’989 records obtained from the identification of specimens held in museum and private collections, and the literature. In parallel, 37 species that were recorded from Switzerland in the past are excluded from this list, for reasons of insufficient documentation.
