Abstract

MELO, María C.; ZAMUDIO, María P.  and  DELLAPE, Pablo M.. A catalogue of the type specimens of Heteroptera (Insecta) housed at the Instituto Fundación Miguel Lillo (Tucumán, Argentina). Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2018, vol.77, n.2, pp.1-15. ISSN 0373-5680.

This catalogue contains information about the type material of the suborder Heteroptera housed at the Entomological Collection of the Instituto Fundación Miguel Lillo (IFML-Tucumán, Argentina). We listed 60 holotypes and 453 paratypes belonging to 20 families, and three species and one subspecies that were not found in the collection but, according the original description, should be deposited in IFML. Finally, we listed 15 species that are labeled and coded as types but that are no part of the original type series. Nevertheless, they were included in this contribution because the associated information could be useful for future taxonomic research.

Keywords : Heteroptera; Holotype; Instituto Fundación Miguel Lillo; Paratype.
