The infraorder contains seven superfamilies:

• Chrysomeloidea (~7 families including longhorn beetles and leaf beetles)
• Cleroidea (checkered beetles, bark-gnawing beetles and soft-winged flower beetles)
• Coccinelloidea (15 families, includes ladybirds, and fungus beetles)

• Curculionoidea (~8 families primarily consisting of weevils and also including snout beetles and bark beetles)
• Lymexyloidea (ship-timber beetles)
• Tenebrionoidea (formerly "Heteromera") (30 families including blister beetles and ant-like beetles)
