I came here looking for help on Phalerisida but couldn't find much. I then found my way to Triplehorn (1991) who listed a whole lot of Phaleria species that weren't included on this page (besides dismissing Phalerisida). After a bit of checking I conclude that he is authoritative and have added his species, also with some notes about the history of alternative classifications of the species included. But I am no entomologist so I really hope someone more expert will have a good look at all this. A useful reference would be Bouchard et al. (2021), but it is not for the faint-hearted.
