Scarabaeus hercules (now Dynastes hercules) was the first species in Linnaeus' class "Insecta". Linnaeus divided the class Insecta into seven orders, based chiefly on the form of the wings. He also provided a key to the orders: [2] 4 wings; pairs dissimilar; forewings fully hardened: Coleoptera; forewings partly hardened: Hemiptera; pairs similar
Early taxonomy was based on arbitrary criteria, the so-called "artificial systems", including Linnaeus's system of sexual classification for plants (Linnaeus's 1735 classification of animals was entitled "Systema Naturae" ("the System of Nature"), implying that he, at least, believed that it was more than an "artificial system").
