The checklist is structured as a taxonomically sorted list of individual species. The main page of the checklist displays the arrangement by family level. Subsequent pages then provide checklists of individual families (icon 
). The main page and the pages of individual checklists always indicate the date on which the published data are valid for each family.
For higher taxonomy (order to tribe), the article was used as the primary source
• Patrice Bouchard, Yves Bousquet, Anthony E. Davies, Chenyang Cai, On the nomenclatural status of type genera in Coleoptera (Insecta). ZooKeys 1194: 1–981 (2024), Published: 13 March 2024, ZooKeys, 2024For some families, further adjustments were then applied in accordance with later published articles. The source of information is listed at the end of each family checklist.
The checklists of individual families are arranged alphabetically according to taxonomy. Due to relatively frequent migrations from neighboring countries, the checklist is designed for the Central Europe region.
The right column on the main page of the checklist contains an auxiliary block called "Checklist," which can be used to quickly navigate the main page of the checklist. The checklist pages for individual families are supplemented by the block "Checklist Legend" in the right column and, for registered users, by the block "... - download" with the option of downloading the checklist to a spreadsheet file (ODS).
