A catalog of the types of Carabidae sensu lato (Insecta, Coleoptera, Adephaga) deposited in the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Buenos Aires

Resumen

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
