Abstract

The type specimens (all current categories) of Carabidae s. l. deposited in this Museum are listed; 101 names are recorded, 59 of them represented here by name-bearing types ('primary' types), two of them dubious. The family is taken in its broadest sense (including the Cicindelinae, Paussinae, and other groups sometimes considered as separate families). The species and subspecies names were alphabetically filed, followed by the generic ones as they were spelled in the original publication (or the generic and specific names in the case of subspecies and varieties). Later combinations and/or current binomina are mentioned insofar as these are known to the author. Two lists are added: 1. of specimens labelled as types of names not found in the literature, and presumably not published, and 2. of specimens labelled as types, but not originally included as such, and published or not after the original description

Highlights

The type specimensof Carabidae a. 1. doposited in this Musoum are listed; 101 names are recorded, 59 of them represented here by name-bearingtypes ('primary' types),two of them dubious
A catalog of the typical specimens of species of Carabidae s. 1. held in the Entomological Division of this Museum is presented, referred to 101 names: 25 holotypes, 56 syntypes of 33 names, 1 lectotype, 110paratypes and 3 paralectotypes; 59 of these 101 names are here represented by name bearing types ('primary types')
Specific and subspecific names are alphabetically entered, as is usual in type specimen catalogs; each name is followed by the generic one spelled as it was in the original binornen, or by the generic and specific ones in the case of subspecies or varieties; an abbreviated bibliographic citation follows, as well as a listing of the types, if these were mentioned, beginning with those deposited in this Museum
