Synopsis of the described Coleoptera of the world
[cite:742038]
most helpful reference in terms of nomenclature, stats, and zoogeography; collaborative effort (each section coordinated/compiled by a leading expert)

very much worth exploring; species pages covering many of our invasive/adventive beetles seem especially helpful
