Except for three papers on Lucanidae
(Howden and Lawrence 1974; Lawrence 1981), John Lawrence's contributions
to scarab systematics have been with general texts (Lawrence
and Britton 1991, 1994), reviews (Lawrence and Newton 1982,
1995), interactive family-level keys (Lawrence et al. 1993,
1999), or comparative morphological studies (Kukalová-Peck and
Lawrence 1993). In 1982 he and Al Newton expressed doubts about
the dascilloid-scarabaeoid sister-group relationship proposed
by Crowson, and in 1993 he and Jarmila Kukalová-Peck demonstrated
that Staphyliniformia and Scarabaeoidea share several venational
synapomorphies that do not occur in Dascilloidea.
