Summary:The superfamily Artematopoidea is defined, to include the families Artematopidae (Eurypogonidae auctt.), Callirhipidae (Rhipiceridae pars auctt.) and Brachypsectridae, and a new key to superfamilies of Elateriformia is provided. The known genera of Artematopidae, together with two new ones for Baltic Amber fossils, are distinguished in a key. Phylogenetic relations of and within the new superfamily are discussed.
