Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda
Class:	Insecta
Order:	Coleoptera
Suborder:	Polyphaga
Infraorder:	Cucujiformia Lameere, 1938

Cucujiformia is an infraorder of polyphagan beetles, representing the vast majority of plant-eating beetles.

The infraorder contains six superfamilies:

Chrysomeloidea (~7 families including longhorn beetles & leaf beetles)
Cleroidea (checkered beetles, bark-gnawing beetles and soft-winged flower beetles)
Cucujoidea (32 families that 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)
