ABSTRACT. This contribution about types of Curculionidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) housed at the Museo de La Plata (MLP), updates the information on the material incorporated to the collection during the last ten years. The 111 types examined herein, correspond to 52 species assigned to the following subfamilies: Curculioninae (5 spp.), Cryptorhynchinae (8 spp.), Cyclominae (4 spp.), Entiminae (31 spp.), and Erirhininae (4 spp.). The authors of the species are C. Bordón, W. Clark, K. Heller, A. Lanteri, J. Morrone, C. O'Brien, P. Posadas, F. Ocampo, and G. Wibmer. The information provided is as follows: valid and original names of each species, bibliographic references, category of the types, code-numbers according to the rules of the MLP collection, sex of the specimens when it is determined, data on the labels (exact transcription), and additional information on the conservation of the type specimens.

INTRODUCTION

Contributions regarding type material housed at different Museums and other Scientific Institutions constitute a recommendation of the 4th edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Article 72 F 4, ICZN, 1999). Several researchers from the “División Entomología del Museo de La Plata” (MLP) have undertaken this task in recent years and have published on type material of superfamilies and families of Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera and Orthoptera. A previous publication on types of Curculionidae from the MLP collection was done by Morrone & Loiácono (1994). The present contribution is an update of the former and gathers information on type material deposited at this collection during the last ten years.

Curculionoidea are the most diverse superfamily of all living organisms, with about 60,000 described species, number that it is increasing every year. As a consequence of the economic importance of this taxon of phytofagous insects, there are permanent requests of identifications of specimens that could behave as pests of agriculture. To facilitate this procedure it is very important to have a good, well curated collection of types.

This contribution provides information on type specimens of the subfamilies Curculioninae (Anthonomus 3 spp., Loncophorus 1 sp., Pseudanthonomus 1 sp.); Cryptorhynchinae (Tyloderma 8 spp.); Cyclominae (Falklandius 1 sp., Listroderes 2 spp., Rhigopsidius 1 sp.); Entiminae (Morronia 1 sp., Atrichonotus 1 sp., Enoplopactus 2 spp., Ericydeus 2 spp., Galapaganus 6 spp., Macrostylus 7 spp., Naupactus 12 spp.); Erirhininae (Argentinorhyncus 1 sp., Neohydronomus 1 sp., Pistiacola 1 sp., Pistiacoloides 1 sp.). The 111 type specimens studied here correspond to 52 species described by the specialists C. Bordón, W. Clark, K. Heller, A. Lanteri, J. Morrone, C. O'Brien, P. Posadas, F. Ocampo, and G. Wibmer, and belong to the subfamilies Curculioninae (5 spp.), Cryptorhynchinae (8 spp.), Cyclominae (4 spp.), Entiminae (31 spp.), and Erirhininae (4 spp.). There is also a neotype of one species of Cyclominae, Rhythirrinini described by Heller (1936) and designated by Morrone & Loiácono (1992).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Species are ordered alfabetically within subfamilies, tribes and genera, according to the classification proposed by Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (1999) with modifications by Lanteri et al. (2002). The information provided is as follows: valid and original names of each species, bibliographic references, category of types, number of specimens, sex when it is determined, code-numbers, and transcription of all the labels associated with these specimens. Brackets are used to separate data of different labels and slashes to indicate different lines within the same label. Code-numbers of four digits are followed by a slash and another number that indicates the category of type, according to the present rules of the Entomological Collection of the MLP: /1 holotype or neotype; /2 allotype; /3 and subsequent numbers, paratypes. In the remarks there is additional information on specimens (if they are dissected, mounted on cards or pinned, etc.) and the labels (colour).
