I'm also interested in something like this.  A simple outline form,
listing all species of each genus, all genera under each subfamily,
etc., would be enough for me, though other information could be
handy.  (Probably the most useful additional info would simply be
references pointing where to look up the species in literature.)

I don't expect to find all species in such a list; beetles alone
would probably fill up a couple hard disks.  But I'll take whatever
I can get.
